[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
Canadian Mounted, baby
Police force at work
Red and Black, it's their color scheme
Get their man in the end
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
It's all right (Yeah, it's all right)
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Frontenac Chateau, baby
I cross the frontier at ten
Got a whip in my hand, baby
And a girl or a husky at leather's end
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
It's all right (Yeah, it's all right, baby)
It's all right (Yeah, my lovely bel punice)
You know, you, you kill and you maim (The husky know)
[Bridge: Eric Bloom]
Mush you huskies-ride, mush you huskies-ride
Mush you huskies-ride, mush you huskies-ride
Mush you huskies-ride, mush you huskies-ride
Mush you huskies-ride, mush you huskies
Hornswoop me bungo pony on dogsled on ice
Make a dash for freedom, baby, don't skate on polar ice
It's too thick to be sliced, by the light
Of long and white polar nights
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
It's all right
It's all right (Yeah, my lovely bel punice)
You know, you, you kill and you maim
Ah, here they come now, yeah
C’mon, ride
