I saw it one day, Bear mountain picnic was my way. "come along 'n' a trip, bring you up there on a ship. Bring the wife and Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run right 'n' bought a ticket To this bear picnic. But did I realize I was in for a surprise. Had nothin' to do mountains. I didn't even come to a bear.
Took the wife 'n' down to the pier, Six thousand there, Everybody had for the trip. "oh well." I said, "it's a big ship. Besides, anyway, the the merrier."
Well, we all got on 'n' d'ya think, big old boat started t' sink More people a-pilin' on, old ship was a-slowly goin' down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I soon track of m' kids 'n' wife, So many people I never saw in m' life old ship sinkin' down in the water, Six thousand people tryin' t' kill other, a-barkin', cats a-meowin', Women screamin', a-flyin', babies cryin', a-comin', me a-runnin'. Maybe we better call off the picnic.
I got shoved 'n' pushed around, All I could there was a screamin' sound, remember one thing more, Just remember walkin' up on a shore, Head busted, cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite lucky to be though.
Feelin' like I outa m' casket, I grabbed hold of m' picnic basket. Took the 'n' kids 'n' started home, I'd never got up that morn.
Now, I don't just what you do, If you have a picnic, that's up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I don't wanta it, 'cause, see, I just all m' picnic spirit. in m' kitchen, have m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't seem to me quite so What some people are do f'r money. There's a bran' new gimmick day Just t' somebody's money away. I think we oughta take o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
