"The Lumberjack Song"
by Monty Python's Flying Circus
Barber:
I didn't want to be a barber.
I wanted to be... a lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine!
With my best girl by my side, we'd sing! Sing! Sing!
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
Mounties:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
Barber:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
Mounties:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
(chorus)
Barber:
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)
Barber:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama.
Mounties:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
(chorus)
