I saw it one day, Bear mountain picnic was my way. "come along 'n' a trip, We'll bring you up on a ship. the wife and kids Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run right down 'n' a ticket To this bear picnic. But little did I I was in for a surprise. Had nothin' to do mountains. I didn't come close to a bear.
Took the 'n' kids down to the pier, Six people 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, That big old started t' sink people kept a-pilin' on, That old was a-slowly goin' down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I soon track of m' kids 'n' wife, So many there I never saw in m' life That old ship sinkin' in the water, Six people tryin' t' kill each other, Dogs a-barkin', a-meowin', screamin', fists a-flyin', babies cryin', a-comin', me a-runnin'. Maybe we just 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 to be alive though.
like I climbed outa m' casket, I grabbed hold of m' picnic basket. Took the wife 'n' 'n' started home, Wishin' I'd got up that morn.
Now, I don't care just you do, If you have a picnic, that's up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I wanta hear it, 'cause, see, I just all m' picnic spirit. in m' kitchen, have m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it seem to me quite so funny What people are gonna do f'r money. There's a bran' new gimmick day Just t' take money away. I think we oughta take o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
