Hark to the Tale of Nelson is a song sung by Martin Prince about Nelson Muntz, after Nelson rescued Martin from being beat up by a Shelbyville boy. As Martin sang, he literally skipped circles around Nelson. Nelson, for his part, studiously ignored Martin, except for trying to hit him halfway through the song.

Lyrics[edit]

Hark to the tale of Nelson,
And the boy he loved so dear.
They remained the best of friends,
For years and years and years.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

  • The song is sung to the tune of the theme from the Western TV series The Rifleman, which aired from 1958 to 1963.
