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
