Discover the story of the song > The Lumberjack Song – Live – Monty Python

The song is about a man who wanted to be a lumberjack but ended up doing a job he didn't like. He imagines himself cutting down different types of trees in British Columbia with his partner by his side. He sings a silly chorus about sleeping all night, working all day, and doing things like eating lunch and going to the bathroom. At one point, he jokes about putting on women's clothing and the Mounties make fun of him for it.
