First verse=
North America was a great big land
With a great big job to be done
A job that needed a great big man
Paul Bunyan was the one
Hey Paul! (Hey Paul!)
Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan!)
He's 63 ax handles high
With his feet on the ground
And his head in the sky
Hey Paul! (Hey Paul!)
Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan, Paul Bunyan, Paul Bunyan)
|-|Lullaby version=
Choir: Good night (Sleep tight)
Paul Bunyan (Paul Bunyan)
You're only 10 ax handles high
But you'll get bigger by and by
Good night
Paul Bunyan (Paul Bunyan)
|-|Kids' version=
Kids: The boys would head for the swimming hole
Just as soon as the studies had ceased (Come on, Paul!)
Though young Paul was sometimes last
He surely never was least
Hey Paul! (Here he comes!)
Paul Bunyan!
Though he loved to swim, what a time he had
What a problem, me oh my...
When his front was in the water hole
His back was high and dry
(spoken)
How about a dive, Paul?
Hey Paul! (Hey Paul!)
Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan!)
|-|Second verse=
Paul: With my double blade ax and my hobnail boots
I go where the timber's tall
When there's work to be done, don't mess around
Just sing right out for Paul
Lumberjacks: Hey Paul!
Paul: (spoken) I'm comin', boys!
Lumberjacks: Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan!)
He's 63 ax handles high
With his feet on the ground
And his head in the sky
Hey Paul! (Hey Paul!)
Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan!)
Well, he picked up his ax and he chopped a tree
Clean down with his forward swing
Got him another with his ax swung back
That timber cuttin' king
He kept on a-choppin' 'til the live-long day
And then when it was night
He walked back over the stumps he'd cut
And stomped them out of sight
Thanks Paul!
Paul: T'weren't nothin'!
Lumberjacks: Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan!)
|-|Third verse=
Lumberjacks: Well, Paul and Babe, they heaved and hauled
And the job was quickly done
They pulled that crooked river out
As straight as the barrel of a gun
Hey Paul!
Paul: (spoken) They're on their way!
Lumberjacks: Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan!)
He's 63 ax handles high
With his feet on the ground
And his head in the sky
Hey Paul! (Hey Paul!)
Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan! Paul Bunyan! Paul Bunyan!)
|-|Fourth verse=
Lumberjacks: Hey Paul!
Lumberjack #1: (spoken) Keep swingin', Paul!
Lumberjacks: Paul Bunyan! (Yeah, Paul!)
Cut that timber, show 'em how
Beat that city slicker now
Hey Paul!
Lumberjack #1: (spoken) Get 'im, Paul!
Lumberjacks: Paul Bunyan! (Yeah, Paul!)
|-|Sad version=
Poor Paul
Poor Paul Bunyan
|-|Fifth verse=
Hey Paul! (Hey Paul!)
Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan!)
He's 63 ax handles high
With his feet on the ground
And his head in the sky
Hey Paul! (Hey Paul!)
Paul Bunyan! (Paul Bunyan! Paul Bunyan! Paul Bunyan!)
