I saw it one day, Bear mountain was comin' 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 right down 'n' bought a To bear mountain picnic. But little did I I was in for a surprise. Had nothin' to do mountains. I didn't come close to a bear.
the wife '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 started t' people kept a-pilin' on, That old was a-slowly goin' 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, 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 hear there was a sound, Don't one thing more, Just remember up on a little shore, Head busted, cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite to be alive though.
Feelin' like I climbed m' casket, I grabbed hold of m' picnic basket. Took the 'n' kids 'n' started home, I'd never 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 it, I don't wanta hear it, 'cause, see, I just all m' picnic spirit. in m' kitchen, have m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't seem to me so funny What some people are do f'r money. There's a bran' new gimmick day Just t' take somebody's away. I think we take some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
