I saw it one day, Bear mountain was comin' my way. "come 'n' take a trip, We'll bring you up on a ship. Bring the wife and Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run right down 'n' a ticket To bear mountain picnic. But little did I I was in for a surprise. Had to do with mountains. I didn't come close to a bear.
Took the wife 'n' kids 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, big old boat started t' sink More people a-pilin' on, That old ship was goin' down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I lost track of m' kids 'n' wife, So many people there I saw in m' life That old ship down in the water, Six thousand people tryin' t' kill other, Dogs a-barkin', a-meowin', Women screamin', fists a-flyin', cryin', a-comin', me a-runnin'. Maybe we better call off the picnic.
I got shoved 'n' pushed around, All I could there was a screamin' sound, Don't one thing more, Just walkin' up on a little shore, busted, stomach cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite lucky to be though.
Feelin' I climbed outa m' casket, I back hold of m' picnic basket. Took the wife 'n' 'n' started home, Wishin' I'd never got up morn.
Now, I don't just what you do, If you wanta have a picnic, up t' you. But tell me about 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 seem to me quite so funny What people 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.
