This is an upbeat pop song about lumberjacks I found in my pocket on my lucky day at the dollar store. Unfortunately, the lumberjacks couldn't stay forever, but they had just enough time to stick around and sing one more time. Lumberjack Vocals by Jeffrey Bennett.
lyrics
JP:
my favorite day at the dollar store
let the devil run, let the angels fly
the lumberjacks, I found them in my pocket
i let them out, they was choppin' some wood,
they were singing they songs and they asked if they could sing for me
JP:
on my way to work i was on the bus
and the lumberjacks were on my lap
"Talk to me!" they said
"I don't wanna' go to work today, I don't think I got it it within me"
They said, "Okay. Just work and we'll sing!"
JP:
i took lunch out on the beach with a picnic basket
full of treats for my lumberjacks - they was hungry
when ev'rybody was full, I sat them down and asked them,
"Could we stay this way forever, please?"
"Nothing lasts forever, not even lumberjacks.
Take our advice and go to work, you lazy ass!"
I was ready to go - I was ready to put them in my pocket -
they said, "No. We must be on our way."
I just wanted to hide, but they said, "It's alright.
We can stay to sing!"
(please don't leave me all alone a'here one more time just me n' the guys singin' a song, just my guys and I)
