Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic M – Bob Dylan
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 family

Bring the whole kids

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 a 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 wakin’ 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
