The Lyrics
The Andy Griffith Show bugs me...
Into the Sheriff's walks in
Barnie watches as he pouts
Andy's patience wears thin
But Aunt Bee just stuffs his mouth
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
Into the drugstore walks in
Wants a milkshake, makes a shout
Emmy treats him just like kin
But he's an obnoxious little sprout
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
To the garage he walks in
He's a nuisance, not a scout
Gomer always gives in
Tricks hin into giving hand outs
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
In the barbershop strolls in
Juicy gossip to talk about
Floyd guilty as sin
And soon spreads it all about
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
Andy takes him fishin'
To catch some biting trout
Learnin' life lessons
And rules that Opie oft does flout
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown, yet
Gets the benefit of the doubt!
Andy's a sucker!
Long as Aunt Bee's hangin' round
Opie needs more spankings
But that's just not allowed!
[Aunt Bee]
"More pie, boys?"
Barnie watches as he pouts
Andy's patience wears thin
But Aunt Bee just stuffs his mouth
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
Into the drugstore walks in
Wants a milkshake, makes a shout
Emmy treats him just like kin
But he's an obnoxious little sprout
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
To the garage he walks in
He's a nuisance, not a scout
Gomer always gives in
Tricks hin into giving hand outs
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
In the barbershop strolls in
Juicy gossip to talk about
Floyd guilty as sin
And soon spreads it all about
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown
What the hell's this show all about?
Andy takes him fishin'
To catch some biting trout
Learnin' life lessons
And rules that Opie oft does flout
C'mon, ain't Opie dopey?
Little runt is such a clown, yet
Gets the benefit of the doubt!
Andy's a sucker!
Long as Aunt Bee's hangin' round
Opie needs more spankings
But that's just not allowed!
[Aunt Bee]
"More pie, boys?"

Note: Barnie should be Barney (Fife) and Emmy should be Ellie (Walker). My apologies...
Always got a kick out of Barney and his one bullet he was allowed to carry in his pocket. The Hokey Pokey was a good song to go with this - what the hell was that song all about?
At least Opey wasn't gropey and the show wasn't dystopey.
I am actually quite a big fan of "The Andy Griffith Show" but only the black & white episodes things just weren't the same without Barney around! I also enjoyed the spin-off "Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C." which has Gomer Pyle serving in the Marines after leaving Mayberry! 5's
P.S. security code is: FUQ... not that it has anything to do with this parody but still it's pretty funny right?

Still, what was that show about? Everytime Andy seems to either play a patsy or bail Barney out of self-inflicted trouble. And he's living with Aunt Bee who keeps forcing everyone to eat her cooking or making doggie bags! Gomer fixes things but usually is so reckless that trouble ensues. Ellie liked Andy, but he picks the older school teacher. Barney keeps messing with Thelma Lou. Did any of them get married, remarried? I know Gomer went on to the Marines. Somebody said Barbara Eden was in an episode, but I haven't seen that one yet. Ron Howard as Opie annoys me. The "Oh Pa" routine works better on "Little House on the Prairie" and "The Waltons" if you ask me. Please, Jon or Porfle... make fun of Mayberry!!!
I'm a huge fan of the black and white episodes like Jonathan, but I've done three or four song parodies about Barney: http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thebeatles2984.shtml http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/themoodyblues58.shtml http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/dannymadden0.shtml
So you were that kid that bullied Opie, Rob!! ... There actually was an episode where a mean kid named Steve Quincy kept teasing Opie by endlessly repeating "Opie, dopey!" and Dopey Opie". Then he starts leading Opie's friends down the path to delinquency till Opie stands up to him, at which point he turns into a big pussy ..... I can still hear in my mind's ear how that kid would say "Opie, Dopey."
Thanks all, and thanks CML for the heads-up on that episode!
