The Mountie Song

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
