BARBER:: I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.; I sleep all night and I work all day.
MOUNTIES:: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.; He sleeps all night and he works 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.
MOUNTIES:: He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.; He goes to the lavatory.; On Wednesdays he goes shoppin'; And has buttered scones for tea.; He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.; He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:: 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 okay.; He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:: I cut down trees. I wear high heels,; Suspendies, and a bra.; I wish I'd been a girlie,; Just like my dear Papa.
MOUNTIES:: He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,; Suspendies, and a bra?!; [talking]; What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!; And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!; [singing]; He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.; He sleeps all night and he works all day.; He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.; He sleeps all night and he works all day.
