"Woodsman?" you ask, and then say, "No, I'm a lumberjack..." Something is so wrong, irresistably you find yourself breaking into song, "I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay! I sleep all night and I work all day. I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory. On Wednesdays I going shopping and have buttered scones for tea."
Uncle Jack is doubling over with laughter. He seems to recognize the song, but you have no idea what you're singing. You just have to sing and now you're dancing too!
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 cut down trees, I wear high heels suspenders and a bra. I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa!!" *
You have no idea that you've just sung a reprise of Terry Jones & Michael Palin's Lumberjack Song from Monty Python's Flying Circus. But terrifyingly deep in every fiber of your being you feel the truth of every word you sang.
Timidly, you ask Uncle Jack, "Sir, do you think you have any dresses that might fit me?"
He'd just caught his breath, but now is doubled over with laughter again. You think he said "Flaming pooftah!" but with all the laughter it's hard to tell.
* Song lyrics from Monty Python's Flying Circus by Terry Jones & Michael Palin, "THE LUMBERJACK SONG" Performed admirably on Monty Python's Flying Circus with a burly Canadian Lumberjack and a Chorus of Monties.
