The Happiest Home in These Hills is a song in the 1977 film, Pete's Dragon. It is sung by the Gogans during their search for Pete in the night at the beginning of the film. It is based on them convincing him to return home with them and threatening to kill him once he's there but it fails.

All:
Argh! 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!
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:
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

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

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
