Lyrics

The wood dry, but it still heavy The wood dry, but it still heavy So dry, bone dry It was more than one, and two, and three And four, and five, and six of us Went to the wood bush "I-man forgot I axe," I said Lend me your axe, will you lend it to me? Lend me your axe, lend me your axe Lend me your axe I know and I-man know You got to run around And play some kinds of game Now, I come, I say "Help me down, will someone? Help me down, this wood dry, but it's heavy Help me down, give I a-helping hand Help me down, help me down" Some have a-iron, electric iron Some have a-iron, wood fire iron Anyway Warm up your iron Press up the uniform, them khaki pants and shirt involve Monday morning coming Sing it School days, school days Please, obey Hear what your mother say This is, this is, this is, this is School days, school days The wood dry, but it still heavy The wood dry, but it still heavy Bone dry, but it still heavy So dry, but it still heavy Well dry, but it still heavy Drier than dry, but it still heavy The wood dry, but it still heavy The wood dry, but it still heavy Yeah It was more than one, and two, and three And four, and five, and six of us Been to the wood bush I-man forgot I axe Oh, will you lend me your axe?
