Lyrics for 'Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues' by '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 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.
