…and from Martin Mull we have this sea chanty released in 1977, about the lumberjack’s drinking buddies (when they’re in port that is…):
It’s great to be on a ship with men and sail across the sea-o,
We don’t know where we’ll land or when, but it’s great to be with men
It’s great to be with men
‘Cause men can sweat and men can stink and no one seems to care-o,
We’ll throw the dishes in the sink and clog the drain with hair-o,
(Clog the drain with hair-o)
Men, men, men.
It’s a ship all filled with men.
So batten down the ladies room; there’s no one here but men
Men, Men, Men, Men
Men, Men, Men, Men
There’s men above, there’s men below, there’s men down in the galley,
There’s Butch and Spike And Buzz and Biff
And one guy we call Sally
(And one guy we call Sally)
Men, men, men.
It’s a ship all filled with men.
You’ll never have to lift the seat; there’s no one here but men
Men, Men, Men, Men
Men, Men, Men, Men
We’re men and friends until the end and none of us are sissies,
At night we sleep in separate beds and blow each other kissies
(And blow each other kissies)
Men, men, men.
It’s a ship all filled with men.
So throw your rubbers overboard; there’s no one here but men
Ahhhhhhhhh, Mennnnn.
alex99a,

TITLE: I’m a Lumberjack
Lyrics and Chords
I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay
I sleep all night and I work all day
He’s a lumberjack and he’s okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat’ry
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
He cuts down trees…
He’s a lumberjack…
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow’rs
I put on women’s clothing
And hang around in bars
He cuts down trees…
He’s a lumberjack…
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’s a lumberjack…
WAHH! And I thought you were so RUGGED!
Thanks to Michael Palen Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle and Terry Jones. :)
And they’re ok.

What, Alex99a, you don’t think people were getting my classical reference? ;-)
nah, i think this guys a bit too masculine to be the Monty Python lumberjack, the Mounties would be in trouble if they started throwing fruit at him.
Bacchus,
Perhaps. Perhaps not. After all, nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Thank you, that’s it!
If you want me to go on arguing, you’ll have to pay for another five minutes.
This thread wouldn’t go “Voom!” if you put ten thousand volts through it…
I came here for the references and I leave happy.
Bacchus,
You got off easy. I’ve seen message boards go goofy for days after a single Python reference. But, I’ll quit now.
Nudge, nudge…
Wink, wink…
Know what I mean??? ;’}
Well Bacchus… alex99a… I think you should know that normally I’m not the kind of person to register a complaint about this sort of thing but… there’s been no activity on this thread for several days now… I believe it’s dead… just bleedin’ demised! It’s passed on! This thread is no more! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet it’s maker! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! I’d venture to say that if Dionysus himself hadn’t actually nailed it to the internets, it’d be pushing up the daisies! It’s metabolic processes are now ‘istory! It’s off the twig! It’s kicked the bucket, it’s shuffled off it’s mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! I must say Bacchus, I fear that THIS… IS AN EX-THREAD!! ;^)
