Lyrics
I never wanted to do this job in the first place! I... I wanted to be..
A lumberjack!
(Piano vamp)
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 okay I sleep all night and I work all day
Chorus: 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 lava-try On wednesdays I go shoppin' And have buttered scones for tea
Mounties: he cuts down trees, he eats his lunch He goes to the lava-try On wednesdays 'e goes shoppin' And has buttered scones for tea
Chorus
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
I chop 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 .... a bra???? (Spoken, raggedly) what's this? wants to be a *girlie*? oh, my! And I thought you were so rugged! poofter!
Chorus
All: he's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaayyy..... (bong)
