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
