Poor Barney Fife

POOR BARNEY FIFE

There once was a young man named Barney Fife
He was a ladies man, but had no wife
He thought he was debonair
With lots of love he could share 
But Deputy Fife is filled with great strife

Now he's laughed at by all of the women
He feels like they are rather condemning
His friend Sheriff Taylor said
Get those thoughts out of your head
And let them know you are worth redeeming
