Alright Go Ahead and tell me this is the Wrong thread for Lyrics but for some Reason stranger than Fiction I felt that this Kinda Fit here:

________________________________________________

I saw it advertised one day,

Bear Mountain picnic was comin' my way.

"Come along 'n' take a trip,

We'll bring you up there on a ship.

Bring the wife and kids

Bring the whole family."

Yippee!

Well, I run right down 'n' bought a ticket

To this Bear Mountain Picnic.

But little did I realize

I was in for a picnic surprise.

Had nothin' to do with mountains.

I didn't even come close to a bear.

Took the wife 'n' kids down to the pier,

Six thousand people there,

Everybody had ticket for the trip.

"Oh well." I said, "it's a pretty big ship.

Besides, anyway, the more the merrier."

Well, we all got on 'n' what d'ya think,

That big old boat started t' sink

More people kept a-pilin' on,

That old ship was a-slowly goin' down.

Funny way t' start a picnic.

Well, I soon lost track of m' kids 'n' wife,

So many people there I never saw in m' life

That old ship sinkin' down in the water,

Six thousand people tryin' t' kill each other,

Dogs a-barkin', cats a-meowin',

Women screamin', fists a-flyin', babies cryin',

Cops a-comin', me a-runnin'.

Maybe we just better call off the picnic.

I got shoved down 'n' pushed around,

All I could hear there was a screamin' sound,

Don't remember one thing more,

Just remember walkin' up on a little shore,

Head busted, stomach cracked,

Feet splintered, I was bald, naked. . .

Quite lucky to be alive though.

Feelin' like I climbed outa m' casket,

I grabbed back hold of m' picnic basket.

Took the wife 'n' kids 'n' started home,

Wishin' I'd never got up that morn.

Now, I don't care just what you do,

If you wanta have a picnic, that's up t' you.

But don't tell me about it, I don't wanta hear it,

'Cause, see, I just lost all m' picnic spirit.

Stay in m' kitchen, have m' own picnic. . .

In the bathroom.

Now, it don't seem to me quite so funny

What some people are gonna do f'r money.

There's a bran' new gimmick every day

Just t' take somebody's money away.

I think we oughta take some o' these people

And put 'em on a boat, send 'em up to Bear Mountain . . .

For a picnic.

Have a blast everybody!!! This has been one of the best parties I've attended the last two summers. I would LOVE to be there.

Can anyone record it?!?! PLEASE!?!? I'll do all the post-recording work if it will help. I'd really love to hear this show.

The boat cruise was awesome. Except for the idiot that jumped off the boat. Wish I could have done more than just tell him off (like give him a kung foo chop right across his nose). Fucker, trying to ruin it for everyone else. Camping was fun, although I'm pretty sure we won't be going back to that campground for future cruises (which of course is a testment to how much fun was going on.) Four cruisers and 8 uniforms, woo hoo!

Oh yeah, Marge got a new man, Pocookey. He's friggin cool, but watch out, he can knock you out.

The boys were on fire. We'll sure miss you Mark. "Ramblin Rose" was my highlight. All the heads were smiling and singing out, it really put me in my happy place.
