If wishes were horses, beggars would ride; if turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side; and if IF's and AND's were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers hands.

If ifs & ands were pots and pans, pots and pans would be ifs and ands.
This is to insist that you have to do things that are appropriate. You have to place people and things exactly where they should be.

"There'd be no need for tinkers" - tinkers being door-to-door salesmen of pots and pans, meaning things are a lot easier said than done, especially if you don't have the resources you need for your grand schemes.

I always used to think it was "we'd have no need for washing up!" but I have since been told that this was wrong. It's good though.
