Lumberjack Song
From "Monty Python's Flying Circus"
Words by Michael Palin & Terry Jones
Music by Michael Palin, Terry Jones & Fred Tomlinson
-----------------------------------------
I'm a lumberjack
And I'm okay,
I sleep all night
And I work all day.
He's a lumberjack
And he's okay,
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.
I cut down trees,
I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatory,
On Wednesdays I go shopping,
And have buttered scones for tea.
He cuts down trees,
He eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory,
On Wednesdays he goes shopping,
And has buttered scones for tea.
He's a lumberjack
And he's okay,
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.
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.
He's a lumberjack
And he's okay,
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 pappa.
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 O-K-A-Y...
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.
