Answer 1

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK & dead parrot

OK

The Lumberjack Song from "Monty Python's Flying Circus"
Continued from Petshop, Barber, or a variety of other Python sketches....

I never wanted to do this job in the first place!
I... I wanted to be...

A LUMBERJACK!

(piano vamp)

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of
British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!


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

CHORUS: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS

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.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

CHORUS

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspendies?? and a .... a Bra????
(spoken, raggedly) What's this? Wants to be a *girlie*? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!

CHORUS

All: He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaayyy..... (BONG)

Sound Cue: The Liberty Bell March, by John Phillip Sousa.

===============================================================================

Dear Sir,
I wish to complain on the stronglyest possible terms about the previous
entry in this file about the lumberjack who wears womens' clothes. Some of
my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a FEW of them are transvestites.

Yours faithfully,
Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong, Mrs.

P.S. I have never kissed the editor of the radio times.







ANIMATION: including dancing Botticelli Venus, which links to pet shop: Mr. Praline walks into the shop carrying a dead parrot in a cage. He walks to counter where shopkeeper tries to hide below cash register.
Praline Hello, I wish to register a complaint...Hello? Miss?
Shopkeeper What do you mean, miss?
Praline Oh I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Shopkeeper Sorry, we're closing for lunch.
Praline Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Shopkeeper Oh yes, the, the Norwegian Blue. What's wrong with it?
Praline I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Shopkeeper No, no, it's resting, look!
Praline Look my lad, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Shopkeeper No no sir. it's not dead. It's resting!
Praline Resting?
Shopkeeper Yeah, remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, beautiful plumage, innit?
Praline The plumage don't enter into it - it's stone dead.
Shopkeeper No, no - it's just resting!
Praline All right then, if it's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouts into cage) Hello Polly! I've got a nice cuttlefish for you when you wake up, Polly Parrot!
Shopkeeper (jogging the cage) There, it moved!
Praline No, he didn't. That was you pushing the cage!
Shopkeeper I did not.
Praline Yes, you did! (takes parrot out of cage, shouts) Hello Polly, Polly (bangs it against the counter) Polly Parrot, wake up. Polly. (throws it in the air and lets it fall to the floor) Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
Shopkeeper No, no. It's stunned.
Praline Look my lad, I've had just about enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased. And when I bought it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out after a long squawk.
Shopkeeper It's probably pining for the fjords.
Praline Pining for the fjords, what kind of talk is that? Look, why did it fall flat on its back the moment I got it home?
Shopkeeper The Norwegian Blue prefers kipping on it's back! Beautiful bird, lovely plumage!
Praline Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been nailed there.
Shopkeeper Well of course it was nailed there. Otherwise it would muscle up to those bars and voom.
Praline Look matey (picks up the parrot) this parrot wouldn't voom if you put four thousand volts through it! It's bleedin' demised!
Shopkeeper It's not, it's pining!
Praline It's not pining, it's passed on. This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker.This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.
Shopkeeper Well, I'd better replace it, then.
Praline (to camera) If you want to get anything done in this country you've got to complain till you're blue in the mouth.
Shopkeeper Sorry guv, we're right out of parrots.
Praline I see. I see. I get the picture.
Shopkeeper (pause) I got a slug.
Praline Does it talk?
Shopkeeper Not really, no.
Praline Well, it's scarcely a replacement, then is it?
Shopkeeper Listen, I'll tell you what, (handing over a card) tell you what, if you go to my brother's pet shop in Bolton he'll replace your parrot for you.
Praline Bolton eh?
Shopkeeper Yeah.
Praline All right.
He leaves, holding the parrot.
CAPTION: 'A SIMILAR PET SHOP IN BOLTON; LANCS'

Close-up of sign on door reading: 'Similar Pet Shops, Ltd.' Pull back from sign to see same pet shop. Shopkeeper now has moustache. Praline walks into shop. He looks around with interest, noticing the empty parrot cage still on the floor.
Praline Er, excuse me. This is Bolton, is it?
Shopkeeper No, no it's, er, Ipswich.
Praline (to camera) That's Inter-City Rail for you. (leaves)
Man in porter's outfit standing at complaints desk for railways. Praline approaches.
Praline I wish to make a complaint.
Porter I don't have to do this, you know.
Praline I beg your pardon.
Porter I'm a qualified brain surgeon. I only do this because I like being my own boss.
Praline Er, excuse me, this is irrelevant, isn't it.
Porter Oh yeah, it's not easy to pad these out to thirty minutes.
Praline Well I wish to make a complaint. I got on the Bolton train and found myself deposited here in Ipswich.
Porter No, this is Bolton.
Praline (to camera) The pet shop owner's brother was lying.
Porter Well you can't blame British Rail for that.
Praline If this is Bolton, I shall return to the pet shop.
CAPTION: 'A LITTLE LATER LTD'

Praline walks into the shop again.
Praline I understand that this is Bolton.
Shopkeeper Yes.
Praline Well, you told me it was Ipswich.
Shopkeeper It was a pun.
Praline A pun?
Shopkeeper No, no, not a pun, no. What's the other thing which reads the same backwards as forwards?
Praline A palindrome?
Shopkeeper Yes, yes.
Praline It's not a palindrome. The palindrome of Bolton would be Notlob. It don't work.
Shopkeeper Look, what do you want.
Praline No I'm sorry, I'm not prepared to pursue my line of enquiry any further as I think this is getting too silly.
Colonel (coming in) Quite agree. Quite agree. Silly. Silly...silly. Right get on with it. Get on with it.
