Whose tomfoolery created much strife!
He bungled all that he did!
Sheriff Taylor blew his lid,

Barney Hilda and ClydeMeet the happy couple
That's Hilda all in white
Barney's there beside her
Loves her with all his might
They're an interracial couple
No problem nowadays
Frowned on not too long ago
But today it's a-okay
Met at the local horse saloon
Frequented by the equine crowd
She was a pretty show horse
He was...

Woman Clothed with the Sun - Alice Pike BarneyIt's all the ways darkness drapes
showing where light is in reality
how it's part and parcel
I can't look at myself
but I see a reflection from your eyes
sat in a circle
we can tell each who we are
I need to hear it to exist
may I rest...

No Man Stands Alone - the Ballad of Barney RossCHORUS
No man stands alone
in the street, the ring or the combat zone
some lay in the gutter
some sit on a throne
but no man stands alone
At the age of fourteen
he had a dream
to become a rabbi
Chicago 1924
then his dad was killed by men
who tried to...

Remember BarneyRemember Barney the Snowman's dog?
He disappeared one day in the fog.
He was chasing a stick,
Not knowing it was a trick,
And got his head stuck in a log.

Fred and BarneyFred Flintstone
In Bedrock he was known
His cat would always put him out
And for Wilma he would shout
Barney Rubble
Was always there on the double
To get Fred out of a jam
Then he would scram

Barney FifeBarney the Deputy of Mayberry,
one bullet in pocket he did carry.
Before a crime wave could flood,
he would nip it in the bud.
To the law the Deputy was married.

Barney Jenkins RoadOut late tossin' the rag.
Turn down Barney Jenkins Road.
Big 'ol square white
house, freshly makeshift
sign in the lawn.
It reads:
SUNDAY SCHOOL 11AM
Ain't that beautiful?
Ain't that how the world
should turn?
Stick a sign on ya lawn
an' let the people come
right on in.
He's probably
a pedophile....

Poor Barney FifePOOR 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...

Felt tingles, down his funny bone,
While playing his golf ball, he lost control.
Barney cried foul, as it bounced off his elbow into the hole.
