I saw it one day, Bear mountain was comin' my way. "come 'n' take a trip, We'll bring you up on a ship. the wife and kids Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run right down 'n' bought a To this mountain picnic. But little did I 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 kept a-pilin' on, That old ship was a-slowly down. way t' start a picnic.
Well, I soon lost track of m' 'n' wife, So many people there I never saw in m' That old ship 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 just better off the picnic.
I got shoved down 'n' around, All I hear 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 climbed m' casket, I grabbed back of m' picnic basket. the wife 'n' kids 'n' started 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 tell me about it, I don't wanta hear it, 'cause, see, I lost all m' picnic spirit. in m' kitchen, have m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't seem to me so funny What people are gonna do f'r money. There's a new gimmick every 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 bear . . . For a picnic.
