Lumberjack Song

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.
