Monty Python Lumberjack Lyrics

January 18, 2016 by Proprietor Leave a Comment

Monty Python Lumberjack Song

Back in the day, this silliness was in the halls of every high school. Mine certainly. Kids in various stages of butchering the Monty Python Lumberjack Song, marching up and down, and laughing. (Thinking to self: Maybe this should be the theme song for the Lumberjack Lampoon comic strip, coming to this Web site soon.)

BARBER:
I wanted to be… a lumberjack!

Here’s Monty Python’s Original Lumberjack Skit

(Orig: Episode 9 of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”)

Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine! The lofty flowering Cherry! The plucky little Apsen! The limping Roo tree of Nigeria. The towering Wattle of Aldershot! The Maidenhead Weeping Water Plant! The naughty Leicestershire Flashing Oak! The flatulent Elm of West Ruislip! The Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni! The Epigillus! The Barter Hughius Greenus!

With my best girly by my side, we’d sing! Sing! Sing!

[singing]
I’m a lumberjack, and I’m okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

MOUNTIES:
He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
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.

He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
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?!

He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!

[talking]
What’s this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!…

[singing]
He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okaaaaay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

Chainsaw GTG T-Shirts

OPEwear.com prints sweats, mugs, and shirts for special events requests. So far, the most popular custom t-shirt request is for GTGs (Get Togethers). A couple of months ago I was approached by @Mastermind on OPEforum to design a tee shirt for his Chainsaw GTG. T-Shirts and mugs were printed, after he approved of the design, […]

Backing a Great Cause

I was on OPEforum the other day and posted a question about their professional chainsaw giveaway. Out of curiosity, I wondered what the members of the Outdoor Power Equipment Forum would do with the Husqvarna 550 if they won it. Responses flooded in, both serious, wishful. What caught my eye was the ‘generous’ answers. Chainsaw […]

Chainsaw Tshirt Design Day

‘Tis the day to design a chainsaw t-shirt. I sat down at my desk this fine day, feelin’ kind of creative, with graphics and a saying I wanted to use. What I was not prepared for on my first Chainsaw Tshirt design day, was a legal question that popped into my little mind regarding legal […]
