           Chorus by the men of the Royal Canadian Mounted police

                            1. I'm a lumberjack
                                And I'm O.K.
                             I sleep all night
                            And I work all day.

                             He's a lumberjack
                                And he's O.K
                            He sleeps all night
                           And he works all day.

                            2. 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
                             He cuts down trees
                             He eats his lunch
                          He goes to the lavatory
                       On Wednesday he goes shopping
                      And has buttered scones for tea.

                             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.

                             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
                            Suspenders and a bra
                          I wish I'd been a girlie
                          Just like my dear Papa.

                                  Mounties
                             He cuts down trees
                            He wears high heels
                         (spoken rather than sung)
                        Suspenders . . . and a bra?
                           That's shocking, etc.
                     That's rude . . . tuttut . . . tut
                                 tut . . .
                             (music runs down)
