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 wife and Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run right down 'n' a ticket 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 people 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 soon lost of m' kids 'n' wife, So many there I never saw in m' life old ship sinkin' down in the water, Six thousand people 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 hear 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' like I outa m' casket, I grabbed back hold of m' basket. Took the wife 'n' kids 'n' home, Wishin' I'd never got up morn.
Now, I care just what you do, If you wanta have a picnic, up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I don't 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 some people are gonna do f'r money. There's a bran' new gimmick day Just t' take money away. I we oughta take some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
