BARBER:
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

 
MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

 
BARBER:
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 shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

 
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

 
BARBER:
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?!

 
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

 
BARBER:
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?!

 
[talking]
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!

 
[singing]
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

 
He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
