I saw it one day, Bear mountain picnic was my way. "come 'n' take a trip, We'll bring you up on a ship. Bring the wife and the whole family." Yippee!
Well, I run right down 'n' bought a To this mountain picnic. But did I realize I was in for a surprise. Had to do with mountains. I even come close to a bear.
Took the 'n' kids down to the pier, Six thousand 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' what think, That big old boat started t' 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 people there I never saw in m' life That old sinkin' down in the water, Six thousand tryin' t' kill each other, a-barkin', cats 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 there was a screamin' sound, Don't remember one more, remember walkin' up on a little shore, Head busted, cracked, splintered, I was bald, naked. . . Quite to be alive though.
Feelin' like I climbed m' casket, I back hold of m' picnic basket. the wife 'n' kids 'n' started home, Wishin' I'd never got up morn.
Now, I care just what you do, If you have 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. Stay in m' kitchen, 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 t' take somebody's money away. I think we oughta take o' these people And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to mountain . . . For a picnic.
