Lyrics
I always wanted to be a lumberjack
Leaping from tree to tree
As they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia
The giant larch
The redwood
The mighty scot's pine
With my best girl by my side
We'd sing, sing, sing
Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I work all day
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
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory
On Wednesdays, he goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay (he's a lumberjack, and he's okay)
I sleep all night and I work all day (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
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay (he's a lumberjack, and he's okay)
I sleep all night and I work all day (he sleeps all night, and he works all day)
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa
He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders and bra
What's this? (Wants to be a "girlie"? Oh, my)
And I thought you were so rugged (poofter)
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay (he's a lumberjack, and he's okay)
I sleep all night and I work all day (he sleeps all night, and he works all day)
Yes, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay (he's a lumberjack, and he's okay)
I sleep all night and I work all day (he sleeps all night, and he works all day)
