The Lyrics

Rod Sterling: Once upon a time, there was a lumberjack who cuts down trees for a living. But ever since he got fired after being falsely tested positive for MDD (Motivational Deficit Disorder), his sanity have entered the realm of the twilight zone...watch the original, the remakes sucked! Anyway here's his story...enjoy!
1,2,3,4,1,2

Let me tell you how it will be,
There’s none for you, ninety for me,
‘Cause I’m the axeman,
Yeah, I’m the axeman.
Should your foot long appear too long
Be thankful I don’t cut your shlong
‘Cos I’m the axeman,
Yeah, I’m the axeman.

(If you went too far), I’ll axe your feet,
(If you try to pee), I’ll axe your meat,
(If you get too fat), I’ll axe your teet,
(If you try to jump), I’ll tax your feat.
Axeman.

‘Cause I’m the axeman,
Yeah, I’m the axeman.
Don’t ask me whom I do it for
(Axeman! Take a chill pill!)
Since I don’t want to axe your door
(Axeman! Ripped off Jack*!),
‘Cause I’m the axeman,
Yeah, I’m the axeman.

Now my warning for those who lied, (Axeman!)
Prepared a fatwa on the sly, (Taxman!)
‘Cause I’m the axeman,
Yeah, I’m the axeman.
And you’re giving to no-one but me,
(Axeman).
*Jack Nicholson's iconic scene from "The Shining"

Slight error in the end, just assume it as the sly being a tax collector.

I actually liked this.

ABC...Bit on the surreal side, there, which I have explored many a time myself. I get now why these get such mediocre ratings.

Max a lot of your parodies are a bit on the surreal side which makes them a bit hard to comprehend but I do enjoy the look into the mind of a crazy lumberjack.

(ABC) Yeah, this really didn't click with me. I guess I don't find crazy people chopping off various extremities with axes to be inherently funny. And what's with the fatwa bit? Just comes off as random.

(ABC) I agree that this is a bit surrealist... and that's what I dig about you Max! Sometimes it's cool to have a very straight forward read, but other times I love to have something that engages a deeper part of my mind. It's refreshing.
