I saw it one day, Bear mountain was comin' my way. "come along 'n' a trip, We'll you up there on a ship. Bring the wife and the whole family." Yippee!
Well, I run right down 'n' bought a To bear mountain picnic. But did I realize I was in for a surprise. Had nothin' to do mountains. I didn't come close 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' what think, That big old boat t' sink More people kept on, That old ship was a-slowly down. way t' start a picnic.
Well, I soon lost track of m' 'n' wife, So people there I never saw in m' life That old ship down in the water, Six thousand tryin' t' kill each other, Dogs a-barkin', 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 could hear there was a sound, Don't one thing more, Just remember walkin' up on a shore, Head busted, cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite lucky to be though.
like I climbed outa m' casket, I grabbed hold of m' picnic basket. Took the wife 'n' kids 'n' home, Wishin' I'd never got up morn.
Now, I don't care just you do, If you wanta a picnic, that's up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I don't wanta it, 'cause, see, I just lost all m' spirit. in m' kitchen, have m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't seem to me quite so What some are gonna do f'r money. There's a new gimmick every day Just t' take money away. I think we take some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to bear . . . For a picnic.
