OT:Running back to Lee Valley

[George Anderson]

Apologies to Burton, Randy, and the boys, as well as the Lee family....

(sung to the tune of Running Back To Saskatoon)

I been hangin' around wood workers I been learnin' 'bout oak I been talkin' to cabinet makers I been workin' with wood

Chisels, hand planes, gouges too Runnin' back to Lee Valley saw blades, router bits and Neander tools Need a bigger credit line Need a bigger credit line

I been hangin' around lathe owners I been learnin' 'bout tools I been talkin' to wood turners I been workin' on burls, walnut

I been hangin' around rec woodworking I been learnin' 'bout stuff I been talkin' to tool owners Now I need more tools

This project is home grown Don't come from the borg This project is home grown Don't come from the borg

I been hangin' around old galoots I been learnin' 'bout planes I been talkin' to panel makers Now I need more clamps

I been hangin' around old growth forests I been learnin' 'bout trees I been talkin' to timber framers I been workin' on joints

Chisels, hand planes, gouges too Runnin' back to Lee Valley saw blades, router bits and Neander tools Need a bigger credit line Need a bigger credit line

This project is home grown Don't come from the borg This project is home grown Don't come from the borg

You might have to be Canadian to know the tune

Canadian Toolman, stay away from me Canadian Toolman, Robin let me be Don't be leaving stuff at my door I don't wanna see your planes no more I got less expensive things to do Than spend my money growin' poor with you Now Toolman, I said stay away Canadian Toolman, listen to what I say-ay-ay

Canadian Toolman, stay away from me Canadian Toolman, Robin let me be Don't be leavin' flyers at my door Don't wanna see your saws no more Coloured pages hypnotize Dazzle someone else's eyes Now Toolman, I said get away Canadian Toolman, listen to what I say-ay-ay

Canadian Toolman, said get away Canadian Toolman, Robin let me be Don't be leavin' catalogues at my door I don't wanna see your planes no more I don't need your wood machines I don't need a new ball-peen Coloured pages can hypnotize Dazzle someone else's eyes Now Toolman, get away from me Canadian Toolman, just let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away now go, go, go I'm gonna leave you Toolman Gonna leave you Toolman Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye You're no good for me I've got no cash for you Gonna look you right in the eye Tell you what I'm gonna do You know I'm gonna leave You know I'm gonna go-o, Toolman I'm gonna leave you Toolman Goodbye Canadian Toolman Goodbye Canadian guy
