I'm a lumberjack
And I'm O.K.
I sleep all night
And I work all day.
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 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 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.
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 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 Pappa.
He cuts down trees
He wears high heels?
Suspendies... and a bra?
(mounties walk off muttering such words as 'poof'. A door closes, however, and they start singing once more)
...He's a lumberjack
And he's O.K.
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.
He's a lumberjack
And he's OKAAAAAAAAY,
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.
