The Mountie Song
When I was a kid I wanted to grow up and be a cop in a province, town or county
I thought it would be great if somedy I could only ever be a Mountie
I wanted to beat up crooks and make arrests because that's part of the profession
But now I just sit on my horse and tell American tourists the parliament's in session
I really don't look good in red and my stupid hat flies off my head in every parade
I'm young and strong and have no fear but now I'm spending my career in Motorcades
I wanna enforce the law, I wanna wear normal clothes
I don't wanna have to smile for diplomat's home videos
I'm good at workin' real hard, I should have joined the Coast Guard
Oh no the RCMP, is not the life for me
I used to think that a Mountie had to be honest, loyal, humble strong and thrifty
But even though we don't break ranks we get no thanks, they took us off the fifty
(dollar bill)
On Sussex Drive in hallowed halls we act like gaurds in shopping malls, it's such a pain
Like someone's plotting the assassination of the minister of Sports and Recreation, oh that's insane
Sometimes I just wanna puke on Sgt. Preston of the Yukon
Dudley Dooright's such a jerk
(Damn You Snidely!!)
And though he tries with all his heart, my horse couldn't catch a shopping cart
Somedays I hate to go to work
I wanna enforce the law, I wanna wear normal clothes
I don't wanna have to smile for diplomat's home videos
I'm good at workin' real hard, I should have joined the Coast Guard
Oh no the RCMP, is not the life for me

I wanna enforce the law, I wanna wear normal clothes
I don't wanna have to smile for diplomat's home videos
I'm good at workin' real hard, I should have joined the Coast Gaurd
Oh no the RCMP, is not the life for me
I wanna enforce the law, I wanna wear normal clothes
I don't wanna have to smile for diplomat's home videos
I'm good at workin' real hard, I should have joined the Coast Gaurd
Oh no the RCMP, is not the life for me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me
Oh, life in the RCMP's not for me
I thought it would be great if somedy I could only ever be a Mountie
