Paul Bunyan's Secret
Here's the story of Paul Bunyan
But I'm gonna tell it my way
Some people probably won't like it
But I guess that'll be okay
Paul Bunyan wasn't really a giant
But he did have an ox named babe
Paul was known as a man of his word
Just exactly like honest Abe
Anyway, Paul liked to cut down trees
And he simply was the best
He'd cut them down and send them down river
Long before any of the rest
But Paul only had one problem
Chipmunks scared him to death
When he saw one, he'd scream like a woman
Til he used up all of his breath
Now, you might think that's funny
But Paul had a fear of rats
Possums, Squirrels and flying rodents
And yes, I'm talking about bats
And he was just a little bit squeamish
When it comes to other things
He didn't like taking fish off his hooks
Or any kind of bug that stings
And at night he liked to wear lingerie
He liked the way it made him feel
Now a man like Paul couldn't buy it from a store
So he only had what he could steal
Now, Babe thought Paul was crazy
What was he trying to hide
But Paul just told that big blue ox
He was in touch with his feminine side
Well, now you know the legend
About Paul, and his ox babe
Bet you never heard it quite like this
So aren't you glad you stayed
