Tv Land

Remember Andy Taylor
And his sidekick, Barney Fife
Maybe the best show ever
In our entire life

Just the facts, ma'am
As Joe Friday used to say
Dragnet was the ultimate
Police show of it's day

Gentle Ben was just awesome
You gotta love that bear
He was as gentle as a baby
Covered in all that hair

Remember Gilligan's Island
Ginger or Mary Ann
Probably the number one question
That still baffles every man

What about Mr Ed
With peanut butter in his mouth
Never seen anything like that
Where I live down south

We all remember Flipper
The master of the sea
These are just a few of the shows
That came on our TV

Those days are now long gone
I hate they didn't last
But as long as there's a TV Land
We'll always have our past
