I saw it one day, mountain picnic was comin' my way. "come along 'n' a trip, bring you up there on a ship. Bring the and kids Bring the family." Yippee!
Well, I run right down 'n' a ticket To this bear picnic. But little did I I was in for a surprise. Had nothin' to do mountains. I didn't come close to a bear.
the wife 'n' kids 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, big old boat started t' sink More people kept on, old ship was a-slowly 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 sinkin' in the water, Six thousand people tryin' t' kill other, Dogs a-barkin', a-meowin', Women screamin', a-flyin', babies cryin', a-comin', me a-runnin'. Maybe we just call 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. Took the 'n' kids 'n' started home, I'd never got up that morn.
Now, I don't care 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 lost all m' spirit. Stay in m' kitchen, m' own picnic. . . In the bathroom.
Now, it seem to me quite so funny some people are gonna do f'r money. There's a bran' new gimmick day Just t' somebody's money away. I think we take some o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
