I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK

A pine tree in our yard died, so we had to chop it down. The tree was 36 years old (we counted the rings) and about 40 feet tall. The actual chopping (felling?) was quite a spectacle, and it brought out the neighbors to watch. Yang bought a brand new Husqvarna chainsaw for the occasion.

It reminded me of the Lumberjack Monty Python skit.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

He's a lumberjack and he's OK,
He sleeps all night and works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping,
And have buttered scones for tea.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

He's a lumberjack and he's OK,
He sleeps all night and works all day.

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.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

He's a lumberjack and he's OK,
He sleeps all night and works all day.
