I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.

I sleep all night and I work 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.

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.

Just like my dear Papa.
