Lyrics
From Monty Python (copyrighted material)
I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay, I sleep all night and I work all day.
CHORUS: 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 shopping, And have buttered scones for tea.
CHORUS: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, He goes to the lavatory, On Wednesdays he goes shopping, Has buttered scones for tea. 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 womens’ clothing, And hang around in bars.
CHORUS: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps, He likes to press wild flowers, He puts on womens’ clothing, And hangs around in bars? 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, Suspendies and a bra, I wish I’d been a girlie, Just like my dear Pappa.
CHORUS: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels? Suspendies … and a bra?
… He’s a lumberjack and he’s okay, He sleeps all night and he works all day.
… He’s a lumberjack and he’s okay, He sleeps all night and he works all day.
MEN Melody - Itself
CHORUS (CONTINUOUSLY): Men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men …
Oh, it’s fun to be on a ship with men, And sail across the sea, We don’t know where we’ll land, or when, But still it’s fun to be, On a ship with men at sea.
There’s men above and men below, And men down in the galley. There’s Butch and Spike, And Tom and Sam, And one that we call Sally, One that we call Sally (effeminately).
Oh, we are brave and we are bold, And none of us are sissies. Each night we lay down in our bunks, And blow each other kissies (effeminately).
