The simple life in Mayberry
is one I'd like to live.
Just to stroll those hometown streets;
Oh - what I would give!
The people there were friendly
and the town was quiet and small.
Couples like Barney and Thelma Lou
were known by one and all.
Aunt Bee cooked meals for other folks,
it was something she liked to do.
She'd take fried chicken for Andy's lunch
and share with Barney and Otis too.
Helen Crump was Mayberry's teacher
and she was nice and kind, and sweet.
She always took some time to talk
when she'd meet Opie on the street.
What about Floyd, Gomer and Goober;
where else could you meet these three?
Such peaceful lives they all lived there
with Andy, Opie and Aunt Bee.
Yes, the simple life in Mayberry
is one I'd like to live.
Just to stroll those hometown streets;
oh - what I would give!
