A Story About a Lumberjack.

The Story of Doo Dah

by Harry Craft

There were two lumberjacks

One was named Frank

And logs they could really stack

The other was named Hank

One lived in a cabin

 the other in a shack

 

They needed help with their work

So, they took out an ad

Doo Dah answered, but with a smirk

He was a little lax, but all they had

And work, he liked to shirk

They hired him, and he was glad

 

Doo Dah had a family

And the work was dangerous

This made Frank and Hank

A little delirious

Though work had to be done

No matter how perilous

 

So, the first day on the job

Someone yelled timber

The tree fell on Doo Dah

Creating quite the blob

How this happened

The men could not remember

 

How could they tell his wife

That Doo Dah just lost his life

Well Frank had a guitar you see

Hank had a banjo and sang with glee

They went to Doo Dah's home

And hid behind a tree

 

They knocked at the door and hid

When Doo Dahs wife answered the door

They belted out a song to let her know

Doo Dah was no more

They sang, we know someone got

Killed in the woods today

Doo Dah, Doo Dah,

Someone got killed in the woods today

Doo Dah, Doo Dah…
