| 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
|
| 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???
|
| I chop down trees, I wear high heels |
| Suspenders and a bra
|
| I wish I’d been a girlie
|
| Just like my dear papa
|
| Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
|
| Suspenders? |
| and a … a Bra???
|
| (spoken, raggedly) What’s this? |
| Wants to be a «girlie»? |
| Oh, My!
|
| And I thought you were so rugged! |
| Poofter!
|
| All: He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okaaaaaaayyy… (BONG)
