I saw it one day, Bear mountain picnic was my way. "come 'n' take a trip, bring you up there on a ship. Bring the and kids Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run right 'n' bought a ticket To this bear picnic. But little did I I was in for a surprise. Had to do with mountains. I didn't even come to a bear.
Took the 'n' kids down to the pier, Six people there, Everybody had 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 kept a-pilin' on, old ship was a-slowly goin' down. Funny way t' a picnic.
Well, I soon lost track of m' 'n' wife, So people there I never saw in m' life That old ship sinkin' in the water, Six thousand tryin' t' kill each other, a-barkin', cats a-meowin', Women screamin', fists a-flyin', cryin', a-comin', me a-runnin'. Maybe we just call off the picnic.
I got shoved 'n' pushed around, All I hear there was a screamin' sound, Don't one thing more, remember walkin' up on a little shore, Head busted, cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite to be alive though.
Feelin' like I 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 what you do, If you have a picnic, that's up t' you. But don't tell me about it, I wanta hear it, 'cause, see, I lost all m' picnic spirit. in m' kitchen, have m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it don't to me quite so funny some people are gonna do f'r money. There's a bran' new every day Just t' take somebody's away. I think we oughta take some o' people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to bear . . . For a picnic.
