Lumberjack Song
Terry Jones Michael Edward Palin Fred Tomlinson
Song : G
Intro:
I wanted to be a lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down, the mighty rivers of British Columbia,
the giant redwood, the larch, the fir, the mighty Scots pine, the lofty flowering cherry,
the plucky little aspen, the limping Roo tree of Nigeria,
the towering Wattle of Aldershot, the Maidenhead Weeping Water Plant,
the naughty Leicestershire Flashing Oak, the flatulent Elm of West Ruislip,
the Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni, the Epigillus, the Barter Hughius Greenus…
With my best buddy by my side, we'd sing, sing, sing"
