I saw it one day, mountain picnic was comin' 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' bought a To this bear picnic. But did I realize I was in for a surprise. Had to do with 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' what think, That big old boat started t' More kept a-pilin' on, That old ship was a-slowly down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I soon lost track of m' 'n' wife, So people there I never saw in m' life old ship sinkin' down in the water, Six thousand tryin' t' kill each other, a-barkin', cats a-meowin', Women screamin', fists a-flyin', cryin', a-comin', me a-runnin'. Maybe we just better off the picnic.
I got shoved 'n' pushed around, All I could there was a screamin' sound, remember one thing more, Just remember up on a little shore, busted, stomach cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite to be alive though.
Feelin' I climbed outa m' casket, I grabbed hold of m' picnic basket. Took the 'n' kids 'n' started home, Wishin' I'd got up that morn.
Now, I don't care just you do, If you wanta a picnic, that's up t' you. But don't me about it, I don't wanta hear it, 'cause, see, I just all m' picnic spirit. Stay in m' kitchen, m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't to me quite so funny What some people are do f'r money. There's a new gimmick every day Just t' take money away. I think we oughta some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
