Arrogant Worms - The Mountie Song Lyrics
When I was a kid I wanted to grow up and be cop in a province town or countyI thought it would be great if someday I could only ever be a mountieI wanted to beat up crooks and make arrests because thats part of the professionBut now I sit on my horse and tell american tourists the parliaments in sessionI really dont look good in red and my stupid hat flies off my head in every paradeIm young and strong and have no fear but now Im spending my career in motorcadesI wanna enforce the law, I wanna wear normal clothesI dont wanna have to smile for diplomats home videosI good at working real hard, I should have joined the coast guardOh no, the rcmpIs not the life for meI used to think that a mountie had to be honest, loyal, humble, strong and thriftyBut even though we dont break ranks, we get no thanks, they took us off the fifty (dollar bill)On sussex drive in hallowed halls we act like guards in shopping malls, its such a painLike someones plotting the assassination of the minister if sports and recreation, oh thats insaneSometimes I just want to puke on sergeant preston of the yukon, dudley do-rights such a jerk (damn you, snidely)And though he tries with all his heart, my horse couldnt catch a golfing cart, some days I hate to go to workI wanna enforce the law, I wanna wear normal clothesI dont wanna have to smile for diplomats home videosI good at working real hard, I should have joined the coast guardOh no, the rcmpIs not the life for meI wanna enforce the law, I wanna wear normal clothesI dont wanna have to smile for diplomats home videosI good at working real hard, I should have joined the coast guardOh no, the rcmpIs not the life for meOh, no, its not the life for meOh, no, its not the life for me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me
