Lyrics for Lumberjack Song

Well the weather for the whole area Will continue much the same as the past few days Temperatures 17 centigrade, that's 49 fahrenheit Winds will freshen tonight to South West, force 6 or 7 And there will be showers, sometimes heavy in many- Oh sod it, I didn't wanna do this, I don't wanna be a weather forecaster I don't wanna rabbit on all day about sunny periods And patches of rain spreading from the west I wanted to be a lumberjack! 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 lowfty flowering cherry, the plucky little aspen 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 buddy by my side We'd sing, sing, sing I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay I sleep all night and I work all day 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 He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch He goes to the lavatory On Wednesdays he goes shoppin' And has buttered scones for tea I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay I sleep all night and I work 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 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 I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay I sleep all night and I work 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 Papa 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
