Humor Break: Song Parody "I am the Sheriff" (Tune: I shot the Sheriff)

I am the sheriff, and I say this investigation’s closed.
I am the sheriff, and I say this investigation’s closed.

All around Washington town
They’re attacking Cheney now
The media’s branded him guilty,
For shooting with no subtlety.
Shooting with no subtlety.
But I say:

I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.
I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.

This administration always hated media
For what, I don’t know
This item has become an encyclopedia
This story just goes and goes.
This story just goes and goes.
I say:

I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.
I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.

Out on a quail hunt one Saturday,
Near a South Texas town,
Bright orange was took for reddish brown,
Cheney shot, and shot his friend down.
He shot, and his friend fell down.
I say:

I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.
I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.

Reflexes got the better of him
And the outcome’s turned quite grim
Every day the reporters rush to tell
Each new factoid they’ve found out,
A new factoid they’ve found out,
But I say:

I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.
I am the sheriff, and this investigation’s closed.

With apologies to Bob Marley and DFU.

I was thinking more like "I shot the lawyer, but I did not shoot Ted Kennedy"

I was thinking more like "I shot the lawyer, but I did not shoot Ted Kennedy"

Shouldn't that be:
"I shot the lawyer, but I wish I'd shot Ted Kennedy"

[NRA1995]

Yes, you DO have a point!

[MaggieCarta]

Thanks, DFU! You are still the best!

Good ones! Thanks for the laughs.

You're welcome, MC. Here is my next to the latest song --- STAYIN' ALIVE

If anyone does a parody of Aerosmith's "Janie's Got A Gun", please ping me.

[doug from upland]

Several people have FReepmailed me and asked me to do it. I don't think I know the song, but I'll look at it. I think I just heard an MP3 on KABC in L.A. of the song.
