McCall, C. W. - Lewis And Clark Lyrics






Now Arnold Jones an' MaryBeth Jensen's in a 'Vette down by the Deep Rock
Had John Denver on the 8-track, gettin' high
MaryBeth's wig was on the floor
An' Arnold's feet was out the door
When we shined our flashlight in Arnold's startled eyes
I says "What chew doin' boy?
Don't chew know that's against the law?
We just gonna hafta get this situation under control
Now my name is Fairweather Lewis an' this here's Willard Clark
We the Pottawattamie County Love Patrol"

Then two hippies in a Chevy's puffin' grass an' sippin' wine
'Bout fourteen mile south-east a' Council Bluffs
They's passin' 'round the peace-pipe
When we caught 'em with our flashlight
An' Willard's hairy hands applied the cuffs
I says, "Boys you got some trouble
You committin' herb-i-cide
We just gonna hafta get this situation under control
'Cause I'm Fairweather Lewis, an' this here's Willard Clark
We the Pottawattamie County Weed Patrol"

Then we spied ol' Marvin Kline a-headin' south on twenty-nine
Like a midnight auto ac-cessory store on wheels
His trunk was full a' hub caps
An' his back seat full a' tires
When we picked him up and made him spread his heels
I says, "Hands up-on the wall, boy
You allowed t' make one call
We just gonna hafta get this situation under control
Cause, see, I'm Fairweather Lewis, an' this here's Willard Clark
We the Pottawattamie County Rip-off Patrol"

Then Orval Hinkle left the Go-Go Club on his brand-new motor-sickle
Runnin' stop-lights, raisin' hell an' causin' accidents
His brain was doin' wheelies
An' his blood was three-two beer
When we nailed him in his driveway at his residence
I says, "Orval, you're in trouble boy
But if you'll blow this here balloon up
We gonna get your situation under control
Now I'm Captain Fairweather Lewis an' this here's Willard Clark
We the Pottawattamie County Juice Patrol"

Then we's passin' by the Dew Drop Inn when he heard this woman scream
So we pulled on in an' parked an' got the guns out
Well we bashed on through the lobby into unit seventeen
There's twenty-eight folks in there without no clothes on
I says "Everbody up against the wall; show us yer identification
We just gonna definitely get this situation under control
'Cause my name is Fairweather Lewis, an' this here's Willard Clark
We the Pottawattamie County Sin Patrol"

C'mon, Willard, let's go sneakin' 'round in the dark some more, never know what yer gonna find

McCall, C. W. Lewis And Clark Comments
  1. D.... G....

    Always thought this album was the best. I still have the record but you can’t find this album on any streaming service. Was able to get his autograph about 4 years, very kind man.

  2. b.... ....

    Untill  I heard Wolf Creek Pass today, I thought this was Cee Dubyas funniest song.

    b.... ....

    Wolf Creek Pass was 1st C&W song I ever heard in 1975....

    b.... ....

    Crispy Critters is a strong contender for funniest song of his

  3. R.... O....

    One of the reasons I became a cop.

    R.... O....

    Ronald Orso Thank you for your what I call service

  4. K.... K....

    I had this album on 8-Track when I was a kid. This really brings back a lot of memories.

    K.... K....

    I recently got a 66 T bird with an 8-track, and I realized real fast why people never liked the 8-track. (I'm not from that generation)

  5. A.... H....

    Thanks for keeping this great old hysterical song alive!!!

  6. R.... B....

    I was police in Council Bluffs, IA in 1978.  This song was inspired by two Iowa Highway Patrol troopers named Jerry Lewis and Cal Clark that worked the CB area.

    R.... B....

    Very Cool Fact!!!

    R.... B....

    That might explain why when it was converted from LP to digital format, Lewis and Clark was left off. Too specific with the names.

  7. L.... G....

    Make a music video of this....I love it!!!

  8. J.... B....

    In this song a flashlight is a worse weapon than a gun. I have a question though...If there are 28 people in the buff against the wall, How can they show you their Identification? This is a great song it makes me laugh.

  9. M.... ....

    I think Fairweather Lewis or Willard Clark caught me and my girlfriend one night while they were doing the "love patrol" LOL

  10. r.... ....

    This didn't get near the fame of 'Convoy' or 'Wolf Creek Pass', but it's always been my favorite McCall tune.

  11. D.... M....

    I taped this (along with the rest of the album) & play it when I'm taking I-680 & I-29 around Omaha....altho CJ5 with 4wheel drive & Smokey on My Tail goes better for the area...

  12. s.... ....

    you commiting "herbicide"! LOL!
