On the 29th of August in nineteen-ninety-eight,
There was a beautiful wedding, and 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.

Chorus 1:
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 and 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 and 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 and 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 were next to have the cuffs put on their wrist,
He threw them in with Grandpa who was ninety-six.

Chorus 2:
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 civilized.

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 twenty 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.
