This really helps if you put on Rock Star by Nickelback and sing along.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song, Rock Star… nor CSI Vegas, or Miami. There are no specific NY references because I've only seen NY a few times.
I Want to be a C.S.I
----
I'm through with professional gambling,
When I never win
Stripping for losers,
Who aren't raking it in
And hanging out to listen
To the latest lecture on entomology
(Tell me what you want)
I want a job where I boss around
Rookies like Holly Gribs
A pair of sunglasses and gun on my hip
And a different pair of gloves for each second
That I'm on the scene
(So what you need?)
I'll need a degree in forensics,
A back story to do it
A mouth big enough to put my foot in it
Gonna work my way up from the lab
Cause DNA ain't working for me
(Been there, done that)
I want my own laboratory
Filled with things in jars
A locker where I can keep
My pack of cards
Somewhere where my daddy
Won't have to try and support me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm going to trade this life for working night and day
And go to strip clubs on duty for minimum pay
---
Chorus:
'Cause we all just wanna be big C.S.Is
Sucking up to Ecklie, and saving lives
The vics come easy, and the drugs come free
If you steal them from the evidence baggie
We'll be known by guys importing Cuban cigars
And for putting in prison movie stars
Every wannabe crim
Is going to be see us there
Start altering fingerprints
And dying hair…
Hey hey I wanna be a C.S.I
Hey hey I wanna be a C.S.I
---
I wanna be great like Nick, 'cept when he had the moustache
Talk to mobsters like I've got the answers
Get in good with the boss
And invite Horatio into the family
(He's down with the Señoritas, uh huh)
I'm going to dress my head
With the dorkiest headwear
Get a warrant for Lady Heather's footwear
Gonna date a fellow C.S.I
Who's had a thing for me since episode three
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm going to trade this life for working night and day
And go to strip clubs on duty for minimum pay
---
Chorus
---
And we'll check evidence that's hidden in the loos
Swab down for DNA, hang in ballistics rooms
Then Ecklie will walk in with that evil smile
Seems like the Sheriff might be staying a while
---
Hey hey I wanna be a C.S.I
---
Then we'll crash weddings
Cause we've got the credentials
Gonna ignore Hodges, cause he's nauseatingly unstable
---
I'll get Brass interrogating, breaking the case
We'll get no credit, cause we're paid by the State
---
And we'll check evidence that's hidden in the loos
Swab down for DNA, hang in ballistics rooms
Then Ecklie will walk in with that evil smile
Seems like the Sheriff might be staying a while
Chorus
Hey hey I wanna be a C.S.I
Hey hey I wanna be a C.S.I
