I saw it one day, mountain picnic was comin' my way. "come 'n' take a trip, bring you up there on a ship. Bring the and kids the whole family." Yippee!
Well, I run right 'n' bought a ticket To bear mountain 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' kids 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, big old boat started t' sink More people a-pilin' on, That old ship was a-slowly down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I lost track of m' kids 'n' wife, So many people there I saw in m' life old ship sinkin' down in the water, Six thousand people tryin' t' each 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 down 'n' pushed around, All I could hear there was a sound, Don't remember one more, remember walkin' up on a little shore, Head busted, cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite lucky to be though.
Feelin' I climbed outa 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 don't just what you do, If you wanta have a picnic, up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I don't wanta 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 some are gonna do f'r money. a bran' new gimmick every day Just t' take somebody's away. I think we oughta some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, 'em up to bear mountain . . . For a picnic.
