| [00:06.62] | I saw it advertised one day |
| [00:08.55] | Bear Mountain picnic was comin’ my way |
| [00:11.24] | “Come along ’n’ take a trip |
| [00:13.23] | We’ll bring you up there on a ship |
| [00:15.42] | Bring the wife family |
| [00:17.41] | Bring the whole kids |
| [00:20.16] | Yippee |
| [00:27.96] | Well I run right down ’n’ bought a ticket |
| [00:30.46] | To this Bear Mountain Picnic |
| [00:32.39] | But little did I realize |
| [00:33.76] | I was in for a picnic surprise |
| [00:36.13] | Had nothin’ to do with mountains |
| [00:39.36] | I didn’t even come close to a bear |
| [00:49.34] | Took the wife ’n’ kids down to the pier |
| [00:51.86] | Six thousand people there |
| [00:53.60] | Everybody had a ticket for the trip |
| [00:55.85] | “Oh well ” I said “it’s a pretty big ship |
| [01:00.47] | Besides anyway the more the merrier” |
| [01:09.52] | Well we all got on ’n’ what d’ya think |
| [01:12.14] | That big old boat started t’ sink |
| [01:14.20] | More people kept a-pilin’ on |
| [01:15.88] | That old ship was a-slowly goin’ down |
| [01:20.93] | Funny way t’ start a picnic |
| [01:27.42] | Well I soon lost track of m’ kids ’n’ wife |
| [01:30.31] | So many people there I never saw in m’ life |
| [01:33.24] | That old ship sinkin’ down in the water |
| [01:34.99] | Six thousand people tryin’ t’ kill each other |
| [01:38.23] | Dogs a-barkin’ cats a-meowin’ |
| [01:41.17] | Women screamin’ fists a-flyin’ babies cryin’ |
| [01:45.57] | Cops a-comin’ me a-runnin’ |
| [01:48.69] | Maybe we just better call off the picnic |
| [01:58.67] | I got shoved down ’n’ pushed around |
| [02:00.67] | All I could hear there was a screamin’ sound |
| [02:03.10] | Don’t remember one thing more |
| [02:04.48] | Just remember wakin’ up on a little shore |
| [02:09.47] | Head busted stomach cracked |
| [02:12.03] | Feet splintered I was bald naked |
| [02:21.95] | Quite lucky to be alive though |
| [02:26.52] | Feelin’ like I climbed outa m’ casket |
| [02:35.63] | I grabbed back hold of m’ picnic basket |
| [02:42.40] | Took the wife ’n’ kids ’n’ started home |
| [02:44.46] | Wishin’ I’d never got up that morn |
| [02:48.77] | Now I don’t care just what you do |
| [02:50.77] | If you wanta have a picnic that’s up t’ you |
| [02:53.14] | But don’t tell me about it I don’t wanta hear it |
| [02:55.76] | ’Cause see I just lost all m’ picnic spirit |
| [02:59.50] | Stay in m’ kitchen have m’ own picnic |
| [03:02.81] | In the bathroom |
| [03:09.85] | Now it don’t seem to me quite so funny |
| [03:11.90] | What some people are gonna do f’r money |
| [03:14.10] | There’s a bran’ new gimmick every day |
| [03:15.42] | Just t’ take somebody’s money away |
| [03:20.47] | I think we oughta take some o’ these people |
| [03:23.78] | And put ’em on a boat send ’em up to Bear Mountain |
| [03:27.77] | For a picnic |
