Spoken Intro:
I didn't want to be a barber anyway. 
I wanted to be a lumberjack! 

Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty
 rivers of British Columbia... The Fir! The Larch! The
Redwood! The mighty Scots Pine! The plucky little Aspen!
The great limping rude tree of Nigeria! With my best gal
by my side, we'd sing, SING... 

Chorus:
	    E                    A
	Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay
	  B                     E 
	I sleep all night and I work all day

	Mounties:
	E                     A
	He's a lumberjack and he's okay
	   B                       E
	He sleeps all night and he works all day


Verse 1:
	  E                 A
	I cut down trees, I skip and jump
	  B                 E
	I like to press wildflowers
	   E               A
	On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
		 B                   E
	And have buttered scones for tea


Mounties: (Chords same as verse.)
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch 
He goes to the lavatory 
On Wednesdays he goes shoppin' 
And has buttered scones for tea 

All: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay 
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 

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?! 

(A brief, confused pause) 

All: ...He's a lumberjack, and he's okay 
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 

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears... high heels? 
Suspenders... and a bra?! 

Wants to be a girlie?! 		}
Poofter! Bloody poofter! 	}  ETC. ETC. ETC.
Pinko commie fairy faggot... 	}

HIS GIRL: Oh, Bevis! And I thought you were so RUGGED!! 

(footsteps, door slams) 

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay 
He sleeps all night and he works all day 
He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... 
Sleeps all night and he works all day!
