The Lumberjack Song Lyrics
ahahahahahaha this is the most hilarious song ever! i was laughing so hard when i heard it....all the monty python stuff is great.
This song is about the changing of society's values towards acceptance of transvestites. As the song so elegantly illustrates, we are almost to the point of finally accepting those whose style is a little different, but not quite. The background singers, Canadian mounties to represent the common man, make it through two and a half verses before faltering and stopping the song. Though they do come back and finish out the chorus (more a gesture of kindness rather than one of acceptance), it is their reluctance to accept the narrator's eccentricities that makes this song one of the most relevant, powerful, and moving depictions of life as a transvestite that this world has ever seen.
Ah, who am I kidding. It's just Monty Python at their goofy best. Great song.
I love all the Monty Python songs, but this is the first one I ever heard, and definately one of the best! Theyre just SO funny - I never fail to crease up listening to them!
Did anybody see Python performing this on Concert for George. It was hilarious!
Friggin' hillarious song. I nearly wet myself everytime I hear it. Viva Python!
I LOVE THIS SONG! Its on the parrot sketch... "hes not dead hes sleeping!!" then he turns into a lumberjack and starts singing :P. Best Song
Dunno why but Im commenting on this again :P Legend song, my favorite of all time hands down
For those of you in Boy Scouts, we named our patrol the Lumberjacks, in memory of this song. We wanted to use the song at our patrol yell, but our Scoutmaster wouldn't let us. Otherwise, awesome!
I want to be a lumberjack when i grow up!
HIlarious - 20th Century Gold - Had to be a tranny!
