We hiked along as the wind did blow Listen buddy, it's a ways to go We grabbed a canoe and we started to row And found that camp up in the snow He looked at me, well eye to eye Then I saw the timber stacked a mile high Big kegs o'beer and lots of fish to fry Then he gave me a big shot of rye Lumberjack City, that's where I'm from Lumberjack City - ya might wanna run Drink your beer, we'll drink your rum Lumberjack City - come on! If you're looking for work, well this is it You better come ready as a fiddle is fit Always be ready to live by your wits 'Cos the bears will chew up the ones that quit Lumberjack City, that's where I'm from Lumberjack City - ya might wanna run Drink your beer, we'll drink your rum Lumberjack City - come on!
