For reasons unknown, when I’m on a coding jag, my body temperature plummets.
Added to this, we had an especially cold day yesterday, so I threw on a red and black plaid flannel on the way to the office.
I’m lucky to work in exceptionally nice digs, the ground floor of a huge lakeside house, with hardwood floors, a bank of working windows, and a gorgeous view.
Because it’s so close to the lake, though, the office does tend to be on the chilly side.
My boss noticed the shirt and, after promising to do some caulking, asked if I was a Monty Python fan and if I’d heard the song, “I’m a Lumberjack”.
We couldn’t remember the lyrics exactly, so for my boss’s benefit as well as the rest of us, here they are, chords included, courtesy of guntheranderson.com:
I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay
I sleep all night and I work all day
He’s a lumberjack and he’s okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day
/ G – CE7 Am7 / D D7 GC G / :
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat’ry
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
He cuts down trees…
He’s a lumberjack…
/ G – C Am7 / D D7 G – / G – C A7 / D7 – GC G /
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow’rs
I put on women’s clothing
And hang around in bars
He cuts down trees…
He’s a lumberjack…
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspendies and a bra
I wish I’d been a girlie
Just like my dear papa
He cuts down trees…
He’s a lumberjack…
WAHH! And I thought you were so RUGGED!
