So next morning,

he overslept a little bit.

Babe wanted him to get up.

Hey!

What's the idea? You big blue ox!

Now, watch it! Watch it!

Cut it out, Babe.

Well, one little shove led to another.

And the first thing you know

they was roughhousing

all over the countryside.

Then Paul and Babe

got into a big tug of war.

They piled dirt and rocks so high,

it formed a range of mountains.

Today, they are called

the Grand Tetons.

Well, sir, all this horseplay...

I mean, oxplay.

made Paul and Babe kind of dirty.

So Paul looked the countryside over

and got together with Babe.

And before long,

he had built them a shower bath.

They went off and left it running.

And today, Paul's shower bath

is called Yellowstone Falls.

Shot Gunderson is my name.

I'm river foreman of a timber camp

near the Oregon Trail.

My outfit was mighty discouraged

the day Paul Bunyan arrived.

We were getting

plenty of timber in the river,

but we couldn't move it to the sawmills,

because the river was so crooked.

Paul looked the situation over

careful-like

then he harnessed Babe with a yoke,

hitched on a big anchor,

and threw it in at the head of the river.

Giddyup, Babe!

Well, Paul and Babe

They heaved and hauled

And the job was quickly done

They pulled that crooked river out

As straight as the barrel of a gun

Hey, Paul

They're on their way!

Paul Bunyan

Paul Bunyan

He's 63 axe-handles high

With his feet on the ground

And his head in the sky

Hey, Paul

Hey, Paul

Paul Bunyan

Paul Bunyan

Now the country began to prosper.

Yep, civilisation had arrived

in the great Northwest,

and with it came

the prophets of progress.

Now, just move in a little closer, boys.

Yes, sirree!

Right in this box is the invention

that's gonna revolutionise

the logging business.

If you'll step over to the nearest tree,

I'll demonstrate.

With my double-blade axe

And my hobnail boots

I go where the timber's ta...

Thunderation! What's that?

Yes, sir, boys.

Just turn on the steam and let her go.

Hey, there!

Who are you?

And what the sam hill's that thing?

Me? I'm Joe Muffaw.

And this thing is the latest model

of the handy-dandy steam saw.

Now, bub, if you'll just step aside,

I'd like to cut this tree down.

Up here, we cut timber with a big axe,

like this one,

and we haul it with a big ox,

like that one.

Look, bub. You've gotta get

with the times, become modern.

There's the latest invention

for hauling timber,

a steam lokey.

With this steam saw and that engine,

I can cut

and haul more timber

than you and that blue ox ever thought of.

Is that so?

You with your newfangled contraptions!

You with your big axe
