It's better than some people who know nothing about it, but want to teach me
what I already know not to be true.

Now it's time to fulfill my religious duty and recite  to the holy verses of
THE LUMBERJACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH! i'm a lumberjack and i'm okay!
I sleep all night and I work all day!
I cut down trees!
I eat my  lunch!
I go to the lavatory!
On wednesdays I goes shoppin'
and have buttered schons 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 like to be a lady and hang around in bars!

I'm lumberjack and i'm okay!
I sleep all night and I work all day!
I cut down trees!
I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra!

I wish I'd been a girly, just like my dear PAPA!

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OKAY................!
