On the 29 of August in nineteen ninety eight
There was a beautiful wedding, & it was time to celebrate
relatives and friends were there, on that special day
it was Holy matrimony, in the old Traditional way
The church bells were ringing as the horns began to blow
a reception was awaiting, just a little down the road
the bride and groom they said I do, as a limo waited there
the people cheered, as the guns, were fired in the air
The savage cop in savage cove was constable McGraw
waiting in his cruiser for someone to break the law
He was like a Barney Fife & he couldn't understand
why he couldn't find a criminal, down in Newfoundland
He heard the guns a firing as he woke up from his sleep
He was so excited that he lifted off his seat
the siren was a blaring cuz he thought it was a crime
when he found it was a wedding, he completely lost his mind
He grabbed the men, who fired the guns & threw them in the car
and told the bridal party, you're not gonna get too far
He arrested all the children just for loitering about
then he stopped the father-in-law & smashed his window out
He arrested all the dogs and cats and threw them in the pound
He threw them in together, and they were heard in Marystown
the bride and groom was next to have the cuffs put on their wrist
He threw them with Grandpa who was ninety-six
The savage cop in savage cove was constable McGraw
waiting in his cruiser for someone to break the law
He was like a Barney Fife & he couldn't understand
why he couldn't find a criminal, down in Newfoundland
The savage cop in savage cove, he was out of control
breaking up a wedding, and running them off the road
all the folks around were caught completely by surprise
a savage cop was on the loose and he wasn't civilize
The mounties didn't tolerate a savage cop around
like Barney on the Griffith show he thought he owned the town
now he drives a snowmobile in 20 feet of snow
somewhere in the arctic where the nights are long and cold
Oh, the savage cop in savage cove, he was outa control
