The Mountie Song Lyrics - Arrogant Worms

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 be a 

Mountie 

I wanted to beat up crooks and make arrests because taht'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 

CHORUS 

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 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 to kill the minister of 

Sports and Recreation now that's insane 

Sometimes I just wanna puke Sgt. Preston of the Yukon 

Dudley Dooright's such a jerk 

And though he tries with all his heart, my horse couldn't catch a 

shopping cart 

Somedays I hate to go to work 

CHORUS 

Hilarious Banter 

CHORUS
