The Mountie Song — текст песни (Arrogant Worms, The)

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
