Rent-A-Cop

I'm just a tired ole' security guard
A little round but no tub of lard
I make my rounds every hour
Don't have time to stop and smell a flower-

They won't let me carry a gun
If there's trouble they say call 911
Everyday I come in to go to work
They've added more on causing me to jerk-

Rent a cop, rent a cop
That's what they call me
Rent a cop, rent a cop
A flat foot wanna be-

My job's not hard I want you to see
But it has a lot of awesome responsibility
I'm happy to do what I love to do
But the rounds mess up my tv programs before it's through-

I'm grateful for the job God gave me
And no one's shooting at my knees
Please pray that my shift I'll get through
And don't wind up as security guards on tv do-

Rent a cop, rent a cop
That's what they call me
Rent a cop, rent a cop
A flat foot wanna be-
