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
