Monty Python - Lumberjack Song

i am a lumberjack & i am ok
i sleep all night & i work all day
i cut down trees, i eat my lunch
i go to the lavatory
on wednesdays i go shopping
and have buttered scones for tea
i am a lumberjack & i am ok
i sleep all night & i work all day
i cut down trees, i skip & jump
i like to press wild flowers
i put on women´s clothing
and hang around in bars
i am a lumberjack & i am ok
i sleep all night & i work all day
i cut down trees, i wear high heels
suspenders & a bra
i wish i would been a girlie
just like my dear papa

    As a Canadian and former logger I can state unequivocally that due to safety concerns we are no longer able to wear high heels while working in the bush.😂🇨🇦

    This former NZ logger agrees with you. We got a lot of our techniques from the Canadian loggers, including safety standards. My high-heels when working as a pole-man at the skid site wasn't so bad in the summer, but the winter here just fucked them totally. As well as ruining my tights.
