The Lumberjack Song lyrics
by Monty Python



I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.

I sleep all night. I work all day.



Mounties :

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 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.



Chorus :

I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.

I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) 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.



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'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.

I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) 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 Mama (or Papa in later versions)





Mounties :

He cuts down trees.

He wears high heels,

Suspendies, and a bra?!



Chorus :

I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.

I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.



Yes, I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) ok-a-y.

I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
