| Facts: |
| The Drury Lane version differs slightly in the opening. In concert, the Mounties would continue with another chorus of the song after insulting the 'lumberjack'. In the Drury Lane concert, Eric Idle sang the part. (Stavro Arrgolus) |

| Song Lyrics: |
I..I never wanted to do this for a living
I..I...I always wanted to be...A LUMBERJACK!
Leaping from tree to tree
as they float down the mighty rivers
of British Columbia
The giant larch, the redwood, the mighty Scots pine
With my best girl by my side
We'd sing, sing, sing.....
Oh! I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
(Mountie chorus in background)
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
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 shopping
and have buttered scones for tea
He cuts down trees
He eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory
On Wednesdays, he goes shopping
and has buttered scones for tea
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees
I skip and jump
I like to press wildflowers
I put on women's clothing
and hang around in bars
He cuts down trees
He skips and jumps
He likes to press wildflowers
He puts on women's clothing
and hangs around in BARS?!?
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work 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
He cuts down trees
He wears high heels
Suspenders and A BRA??
(Mountie chorus gets disgusted and
shouts insults. Then all continue...)
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
Yes, I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
