Arrogant Worms The The Mountie Song Lyrics

The Mountie Song Lyrics

When i was a kid i wanted to grow up and be cop in a province town or county

 I thought it would be great if someday 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 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 diplomats' home videos

 I good at working 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 guards in shopping malls, it's
such a pain

 Like someone's plotting the assassination of the minister if sports and
recreation, oh that's insane

 Sometimes i just want to puke on sergeant preston of the yukon, dudley
do-right's such a jerk (damn you, snidely)

 And though he tries with all his heart, my horse couldn't catch a golfing
cart, some days i hate to go to work

 

 I wanna enforce the law, i wanna wear normal clothes

 I don't wanna have to smile for diplomats' home videos

 I good at working 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 diplomats' home videos

 I good at working real hard, i should have joined the coast guard

 Oh no, the rcmp

 Is not the life for me

 

 Oh, no, it's not the life for me

 Oh, no, it's 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
