Lyrics:
Welcome to the party at the global saloon
Pour a drink and pull up a chair
Why look who's comin' in through the batwing doors (If it ain't)
Sheriff Bush and Deputy Blair
Our sheriff is a good man and a gentleman at heart
And for years he hunted down the Reds
But now they've left the prairies and he's turned his eagle eye
On those folks who wear turbans on their heads
(Chorus)
Some people don't like him: they just don't understand
He ain't like the rest of us, he don't see shades of grey (he's got)
Big things on his mind and a big gun in his hand (you're)
For us or against us......so have a nice day
Now he's a real tough sheriff and he loves you like a son
But you better choose your friends real well
Cause if yew make him he's gonna pull out his six-gun
And he's gonna blow yew all to hell
Oh give us your diamonds your gold and you oil
Give us your copper and your money (we'll give you)
Big Macs, baseball caps and gangsta rap (and a)
Place in our global economy
"WELL I'M A MITE TETCHY AND I AIN'T IN THE MOOD FOR NO TURBANS
MESSIN' WITH MY BRENT CRUDE (WE GOTTA)
TEACH SOME RESPECK FER OL' UNCLE SAM; IF WE CAIN'T CATCH OSAMA
THEN WE HIT SADDAM"
(Chorus)
Some people don't like him: they just don't understand
He ain't like the rest of, he don't see shades of grey (he's got)
Big things on his mind and a big gun in his hand (you're)
For us or against.....so have a nice day.
He's a real tough sheriff and he loves you like a daughter (don't go)
Messin' with the bad boys in the alley ('cause)
If you go and cosy up to folks ya didn't oughta (you'll get a)
Heat-seekin' missile up your valley
Share with us your copper, your diamonds and your iron
Give us your labour and your sweat
You can have Kentucky Fries, GM foods and pesticides (and)
Thirty-seven brands of cigarettes
(chorus)
Some people don't like him: they just don't understand
He ain't like the rest of us, he don't see shades of grey (he's got)
Big things on his mind and a big gun in your hand (you're)
For us or against us...so have a nice day.
SO SIGN UP WITH US BOYS AND JOIN THE WAGON TRAIN
WE'RE RIDING OFF TO FIGHT FOR PEACE (SO COME A )
LONG WITH THE SHERIFF AND HIS DEPUTY, WE'RE HEADIN OUT TO
TAME THE WILD EAST....................................YEEEHAH.....
