The Lumberjack Song

With Connie Booth, who was married to John Cleese and later starred in and co-wrote Fawlty Towers with him.

Which brings to mind a joke. Why did the lumber truck stop? To let the lumberjack off. Rim shot.

Thank you folks. I'm here all week.

Fawlty Towers was one of the best comedy series ever. I chuckle just thinking about some of those episodes.

When I got out of college in '79, the place I worked at was about half young guys like me & half old farts. I remember singing this & the younger guys all "got it", but the older guys didn't have a clue, & sure did give me the "fish eye"...But I sure did have a blast that 1st year or so...

Growing up French in Quebec was the pit! I missed the Metal, I missed Monty Python...
12.30 a.m. last night. Couldn't stop laughing. Rugged B.C. lumber jack. Pure genius!

I'm amazed at how many people don't "get" M.Python. What's not to get?
Great stuff!
