I saw it one day, Bear picnic was comin' my way. "come along 'n' a trip, bring you up there on a ship. Bring the and kids Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run down 'n' bought a ticket To bear 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 'n' kids down to the pier, Six thousand there, had ticket 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 boat t' sink More people a-pilin' on, old ship was a-slowly goin' down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I lost track of m' kids 'n' wife, So people there I never saw in m' life That old sinkin' down 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 better off the picnic.
I got down 'n' pushed around, All I could there was a screamin' sound, Don't remember one 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 back of m' picnic basket. Took the wife 'n' 'n' started home, Wishin' I'd got up that morn.
Now, I don't care what you do, If you wanta a picnic, that's up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I wanta hear it, 'cause, see, I lost all m' picnic spirit. Stay in m' kitchen, m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't seem to me quite so What people are gonna do f'r money. There's a bran' new every day t' take somebody's money away. I think we oughta some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
