What If?
What if Sheriff Taylor
Had worn a gun upon his hip?
And what if Otis Campbell
Had never taken a nip?
What if Opie Taylor
Had hair as black as coal?
And what if Reverend Tucker
Had never saved a soul?
What if Aunt Bee Taylor
Had made pickles that won
first prize?
And what if Gomer Pyle
Had never worn purple and acorn ties?
What if Floyd Larson,
Had never joined a lonely hearts club?
And what if Briscoe Darling
Had never bathed in an old copper tub?
What if Barney Fife,
Had bullets in his gun?
And what if Skippy and Daphne
Had never came to Mayberry for fun?
What if Ernest T Bass
Had never thrown a rock?
And what if Otis Campbell
Had never spiked the crock?
What if Helen Crump
Had never gotten mad at Andy,
And what if Goober Pyle
Had never given Lydia candy?
What if Hubcaps Lesch,
Had never stolen a car?
And what if Johnny Paul
Had never told Opie about chewing tar?
What if all these what ifs,
Had never come to be?
Well my friends, I'll tell you,
Mayberry wouldn't be Mayberry.
