The Loggers who don't do anything-Buzz Martin
We are the loggers who don’t do anything, We just stay at home and lie around. And if you ask us to go out and cut, We’ll just tell ya… “No thanks, we’re just loungin’ down!” (Chorus: Laid-back, with a steady rhythm, tapping boots on the floor) Well, I’ve never climbed no timber, And I’ve never run a saw, And I’ve never felled a Douglas fir or bucked a single log! I’ve never worn no cork boots, And I’ve never drove a truck, And I’ve never been to Eugene in the fall! [laughs] (Bridge: Light harmonica backing, humorous delivery) We’re the loggers who don’t do nothin', no work at all, We just stay at home and wait for the boss to call, And if you ask us to fire up the chainsaw, We’ll tell ya… “Maybe tomorrow, boss, or never at all!” [chuckles] (Verse 2: More animated, with a wink) Well, I’ve never sharpened an axe blade, And I’ve never greased a skidder, And I’ve never pulled a log from the woods, no sir, not me! And I’ve never hollered “Timber!”, And I’ve never worked a highline, And I’ve never been to Eugene in the fall! [snickers] (Musical break: Harmonica solo, steady beat, feeling like a working man’s tune) Well, I’ve never worked a sawmill, And I’ve never stacked no lumber, And I’ve never driven spikes into a tree, no, not at all! And I’ve never rolled a big log, And I’ve never hauled no load, And I’ve never been to Eugene in the fall! We’re the loggers who don’t do a thing, no work, no sweat, We just stay at home, haven’t grabbed the saw yet! And if you ask us to swing a maul, We’ll tell ya… “Maybe later, if the couch gets dull!”
