He's a lumberhack - it isn't ok


He hides all night and he hides all day.
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
Between Canfor, Cons, and Libs.
The softwood deal is not one,
It's two with lots of fibs.
The Gazetteer has three great posts in a row explaining the softwood lumber deal that isn't.

  1. As a reformed tree butcher cum tree hugger who happens to be gay - I love your reference to the old Monty Python skit. One remembers the chorus of Horsemen enthusiastically singing along until it slowly dawns on them that there's something rather 'queer' about the whole deal. How very, very appropriate!

  3. Macadavy : "queer about the deal"!
    Ha! I never thought of that.

    Scout : Never mind your legendary underwear fixations right now, you're the lyrics girl - do a better verse.

  4. sheesh, ya didn't have to come over to my place late last night to convince me to add to your lyrics of mass destruction!!! here goes:

    Chorus:
    He's a lumberjack and he's O.K.
    He hides all night and he hides all day (repeat)

    He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
    He goes to the lavaTORY
    On Wednesdays he goes shopping
    And eats Volpe's babies.

    Chorus

    He cuts down trees, he lies and thumps
    He likes the press to shower
    He puts on women's clothing
    And charges by the hour.

    Chorus

    He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
    Between Canfor, Cons, and Libs.
    The softwood deal is not one,
    It's two with lots of fibs.

    Chorus

    He cuts down trees, likes to lie
    His brain is of softwood
    So let's set up a deal
    To Nafta his mind as 'goods'.
    (what? no takers?)

    Chorus

  5. Regardless the actual undergarments involved, looking at that image I couldn't help but wonder about the physiological effects caused by the suspender-assisted extreme elevation of the trousers.....
