The Lumberjack Song

I never wanted to do this job in the first place!
I... I wanted to be... A LUMBERJACK!
Leaping from tree to tree!
As they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia!
With my best girl by my side!
The Larch! The Pine! The Giant Redwood tree! The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree! We'd sing! Sing! Sing!

Oh, I'm a lumberjack,
And I'm O.K.
I sleep all night
And I work all day.

CHORUS:
He's a lumberjack,
And he's O.K.
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.

I cut down trees,
I eat my lunch,
I go to the Lavantory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees,
He eatsh is lunch,
He goes to the Lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS:
He's a lumberjack
And he's O.K.
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.

I cut down trees
I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees
He skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars?

CHORUS:
He's a lumberjack
And he's O.K.
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.

I cut down trees,
I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees,
He wears high heels
Suspendies... and a bra?

...He's a lumberjack
And he's OKAY.
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.

...He's a lumberjack
And he's OKAY.
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.
