(Monty Python Sings! and Monty Python Sings again)

Intro:

PALIN:

Well the Weather for the whole area will continue much the same for the past few days

Temperatures 17 Centigrade that's 49 Fahrenheit

Winds will freshenly to tonight to south west for 6 or 7

And there will be Showers sometimes heavy in many.. Oh Sodd it

I don't want to do this. I don't want to be a weather forecaster

I don't want to Rabbit on all day about sunny periods and patches

Of rain spreading from the west

I wanted to be..... A LUMBERJACK!

Leaping for tree to tree as the floated 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-

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK!

I sleep all night, I work all day

MOUNTIES CHOIR:

He's a lumberjack and he's OK!

He sleeps all night and works all day!

PALIN:

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch

I go to the lavatory!

On Wednesdays I go shopping

And have buttered scones for tea!

MOUNTIES CHOIR:

He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch

He goes to the lavatory!

On Wednesdays he goes shopping

And has buttered scones for tea!

PALIN & MOUNTIES TOGETHER

I'm/He's a lumberjack and I'm/he's OK!

I/He sleeps all night and works all day!

PALIN:

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 CHOIR:

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...?

PALIN & MOUNTIES TOGETHER

I'm/He's a lumberjack and I'm/he's OK!

I/He sleeps all night and works all day!

PALIN

I cut down trees, I wear high heels

Suspenders and a bra!

I wish I were a girlie

Just like my dear papa!

MOUNTIES CHOIR

He cuts down trees, he wears high heels

Suspenders and a bra?!?

*The choir mumbles angrily, The song brakes down into silence. Foot steps are hear and a door opens and closes denoting that Palin has left the scene*

MOUNTIES CHOIR

He's a lumberjack and he's OK!

He sleeps all night and works all day!

He's a lumberjack and he's OKaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

He sleeps all night and works all day!
