Chevy Chase – I Shot the Sheriff

By The Waffle Maker • Randomness • 6 Jan 2010

I’ve been looking for this song online – finally found it, courtesy of Archive.org:

Lyrics:

I shot de sheriff
And I also shot de deputy
I shot de bailiff
After toking all de PCP
(You know)

All aroun’ in my hometown
I’m shooting everyone.
(That’s right)
I drop a ‘Lude, get in de nude
I take de knife an’ gun
(Oh boy)
I can’t stop having fun
(No)

I shot de sheriff
Then I guess I shot some THC
I shot my elbow
But I did not feel a thing, you see
(No, no, I did not feel it.)

(Huh!)
When I’m getting good an’ high
(Oh)
And wake up feeling fine
(So fine!)
I smoke de smoke, break down de coke
An’ toke another line
(You know)
It really blows my mind

I shot de sheriff
An’ I also stabbed some lemon trees
(I actually did)
I do not care if
They take me into custody
(I don’ care; I will shoot them, maybe, too!)

Let them try to find me out
I’m always wearing a disguise
In my mine there is no doubt
I’m no one you would recognize
(No)
I could be jus’ one of de guys
(I could; look out!)

I shot de sheriff
I shot my elbow
I stabbed a guava
I shot de sheriff
