This is my favorite Mayberry parody. I don't know who the artist is, but they
did a great job of matching the sound of the original tune. They also included
sound clips from The Show, such as Barney saying "That's impersonating an
officer! That's a real serious offense!" This was on an old cassette that one
of you gave me at a Mayberry event twenty years ago.

Do the Barney Fife
Performed by unknown
Tune: Walk of Life by Dire Straits
Here come Barney, he's in all his glory
Hey Thelma Lou, look baby, what'd I say?
Here come Barney, marchin' down to the courthouse
You break the law, and Barney make you pay
He's quick to action, he gets the notion,
Oh yeah, the boy don't play
He's dedicated, got devotion,
He'd arrest his mama if she got in his way
And after all is said and done, we laugh about
The way he handles all the trouble in his life
We do the Barn, we do the Barney Fife
Yeah, we do the Barney Fife
Here comes Barney, gonna tell you a story
Hand me down my steel-toed shoes
Here comes Barney, no need to worry
He's at the crime scene and findin' clues
He got the action, full of the motion
Oh yeah, the boy don't play
He's dedicated, got devotion,
He take the rocks from Ernest T. and lock him away
He looks bulimic, anorexic, mighty thin
But he just couldn't gain a pound to save his life
That's 'cause he's Barn,
That's 'cause he's Barney Fife
Yeah, let's do the Barney Fife
