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)

Dear Sir,
|
I wish to complain on the stronglyest possible terms about the previous
|
entry in this file about the lumberjack who wears womens' clothes. Some of
|
my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a FEW of them are transvestites.
|
|
Yours faithfully,
|
Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong, Mrs.
|
|
P.S. I have never kissed the editor of the radio times.
