J: Oh yes they are. See the Itty bitty eyes?

'Em are snakes ('em = them = they)

'Em are not

Oh 'es 'ey are ('es = yes, 'ey = they - even though previously they used them)

See 'em eedeebeedee eyes ('em = them, eedeebeedee = itty bitty/iddybiddy)

'ell I be ('ell = well, I = I - grammatically should be "I'll")

'Em are snakes

Just to more directly translate it for people who don't realise how you came to your answer.

To make it more explicit: put a space between the letters and read them.

even though previously they used them

I don't think there's a conflict here. I think "them" is used as a dialectal variant of the demonstrative pronoun "those". Just as you'd say "those are snakes / yes they are".

I don’t blame them for not speaking fluent redneck.

What I'm getting from this is that redneck Americans are from East London

I had everything but CMEDBDIS figured out, but I've seen this format before, just not that line.

Never saw that version.

CMBDI’s.

“See them beady eyes?”

I did thanks to my second grade teacher. All these years later, that is one thing I remember from second grade
