Lumberjack Song
Composer(s): Terry Jones - Michael Palin - Fred Tomlinson
Performer(s): Monty Python



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! The lofty flowering Cherry! 
The plucky little Apsen! The limping Roo tree of Nigeria 
The towering Wattle of Aldershot! The Maidenhead Weeping Water Plant! 
The naughty Leicestershire Flashing 
Oak! The flatulent Elm of West Ruislip! The Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni! 
The Epigillus! The Barter Hughius Greenus!

With my best buddy 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

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day

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?!

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day

Barber: 
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?!

What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My! 
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter! ...

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day

He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay
He sleeps all night and he works all day
