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 and kids the whole family." Yippee!
Well, I run down 'n' bought a ticket To this mountain picnic. But little did I I was in for a surprise. Had nothin' to do mountains. I didn't even close to a bear.
Took the wife 'n' kids 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' what think, big old boat started t' sink More people kept on, old ship was a-slowly goin' down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I soon lost of m' kids 'n' wife, So many people there I never saw in m' That old sinkin' down in the water, Six people tryin' t' kill each 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 down 'n' around, All I could hear was a screamin' sound, remember one thing more, Just remember up on a little shore, busted, stomach cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite lucky to be though.
Feelin' I climbed outa m' casket, I grabbed back hold of m' basket. Took the wife 'n' kids 'n' home, Wishin' I'd got up that morn.
Now, I care just what you do, If you have a picnic, that's up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I don't hear it, 'cause, see, I just all m' picnic spirit. Stay in m' kitchen, m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't seem to me quite so What some are gonna do f'r money. There's a bran' new gimmick day Just t' somebody's money away. I think we take some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
