He Never Wanted to be a Barber

In honor of seeing the great Michael Palin last night, I found one of the funniest skits Monty Python ever did. "The Lumberjack Song" is one of Monty Python's classics. So above is the complete skit from the TV series, from 1970.

I bet The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are still miffed about it.

Oh, I'm a lumberjack,
and I'm O.K.
I sleep all night
and I work all day.

CHORUS:
He's a lumberjack,
and he's O.K.
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.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees,
he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS:
He's a lumberjack
And he's O.K.
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 women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

Mounties:
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?

CHORUS:
He's a lumberjack
And he's O.K.
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 papa.

Mounties:
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.
