The Happiest Home in These Hills

The Happiest Home in These Hills is a Villain Song performed by the Gogan family in the beginning of Pete's Dragon. This song is based on them convincing Pete to come home with them and threatening to kill them once he's there.

Lyrics
All: 2x(Argh!) Lena: He's gone that-a-way Merle: He's went this-a-way Grover and Willie: He's up a tree (Lena and Merle) I think! Lena: Oh Petey, Oh Petey... Where are you? Please come back Oh Petey, Oh Petey... Lena and Merle: You're like a son to us We miss you, We miss you Lena: If I get near him, you can bet I won't miss him with this!

Lena: I'll cook you cake and gingerbread, Bring you tea in bed on a tray, Merle: We'll slave while you go fishing You'll get permission to run and play Lena: These tears oughta show you I care Come back, (All) by cracky we'll share The happiest home in these hills...in these hills!

Lena (shouting): Go find him!

Grover and Willie: Gonna snag him, gag him, drag him through town Put his head in the river, let the pup drown, Trap him, strap him, wrap him in a sack. Yeah! Tie him screaming to a railroad track. (Bros. laugh)

Merle: We'll have you sing in chapel You'll be the apple of Momma's eye Lena: I'll tend to all your sowing and do your mowing So just rely on me All: Dang, we know you're out there It's late, we're waiting to share The happiest home in these hills...in these hills!

Grover and Willie: Gonna paw him, claw him, saw him in half, When he cries out for mercy, we'll just laugh, Beat him, heat him, eat him for dessert. Yeah! Lena: Roast him gently so the flames won't hurt.

(All laugh)

(After being thrown into a mud puddle by an invisible Elliott and calling for Pete again)

Lena and Merle: You'll swim and you'll go camping All: You'll be a champ in your own backyard Our love is overflowing, it keeps on growin' You'll sleep good knowing you're home in these hills...

Grover and Willie: We're gonna string him from a tree Lena and Merle: In these hills Grover and Willie: We're gonna sting him like a bee Lena and Merle: In these hills Grover and Willie: We're gonna spill him on his head Lena and Merle: In these hills Grover and Willie: We're gonna fill him full of lead Lena and Merle: In these hills
