[00:01.22]Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic M – Bob Dylan
[00:07.12]I saw it advertised one day
[00:09.05]Bear Mountain picnic was comin’ my way
[00:11.74]“Come along ’n’ take a trip
[00:13.73]We’ll bring you up there on a ship
[00:15.91]Bring the wife family
[00:17.91]Bring the whole kids
[00:20.66]Yippee!
[00:28.46]Well, I run right down ’n’ bought a ticket
[00:30.96]To this Bear Mountain Picnic
[00:32.89]But little did I realize
[00:34.25]I was in for a picnic surprise
[00:36.63]Had nothin’ to do with mountains
[00:39.85]I didn’t even come close to a bear
[00:49.84]Took the wife ’n’ kids down to the pier
[00:52.35]Six thousand people there
[00:54.10]Everybody had a ticket for the trip
[00:56.35]“Oh well,” I said, “it’s a pretty big ship
[01:00.96]Besides, anyway, the more the merrier”
[01:10.02]Well, we all got on ’n’ what d’ya think
[01:12.64]That big old boat started t’ sink
[01:14.70]More people kept a-pilin’ on
[01:16.37]That old ship was a-slowly goin’ down
[01:21.43]Funny way t’ start a picnic
[01:27.92]Well, I soon lost track of m’ kids ’n’ wife
[01:30.81]So many people there I never saw in m’ life
[01:33.74]That old ship sinkin’ down in the water
[01:35.49]Six thousand people tryin’ t’ kill each other
[01:38.72]Dogs a-barkin’, cats a-meowin’
[01:41.67]Women screamin’, fists a-flyin’, babies cryin’
[01:46.06]Cops a-comin’, me a-runnin’
[01:49.18]Maybe we just better call off the picnic
[01:59.17]I got shoved down ’n’ pushed around
[02:01.17]All I could hear there was a screamin’ sound
[02:03.59]Don’t remember one thing more
[02:04.98]Just remember wakin’ up on a little shore
[02:09.96]Head busted, stomach cracked
[02:12.53]Feet splintered, I was bald, naked . . .
[02:22.44]Quite lucky to be alive though
[02:27.02]Feelin’ like I climbed outa m’ casket
[02:36.12]I grabbed back hold of m’ picnic basket
[02:42.90]Took the wife ’n’ kids ’n’ started home
[02:44.95]Wishin’ I’d never got up that morn
[02:49.27]Now, I don’t care just what you do
[02:51.27]If you wanta have a picnic, that’s up t’ you
[02:53.63]But don’t tell me about it, I don’t wanta hear it
[02:56.25]’Cause, see, I just lost all m’ picnic spirit
[03:00.00]Stay in m’ kitchen, have m’ own picnic . . .
[03:03.31]In the bathroom
[03:10.34]Now, it don’t seem to me quite so funny
[03:12.40]What some people are gonna do f’r money
[03:14.59]There’s a bran’ new gimmick every day
[03:15.91]Just t’ take somebody’s money away
[03:20.96]I think we oughta take some o’ these people
[03:24.28]And put ’em on a boat, send ’em up to Bear Mountain . . .
[03:28.27]For a picnic
