The Lumberjack Song

I'm a lumberjack
And I'm OK,
I sleep all night
and I work all day

(Mounties echo the verse back in 3rd person)

I cut down trees
I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesday I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea.

(Mounties echo back the 2nd verse, and then the 1st in 3rd person)

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.

(Mounties echo back this verse, and the first one in 3rd person)

I cut down trees
I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my Dear Papa.

(Mounties echo back verse, but around the word 'bra' begin to break up,
and get shocked.  Then they regroup and sing the final repetition of the
first verse.)
