if ANYBODY likes BOB DYLAN, then he or she must find this unreleased song of his. it's really hilarious... and at the end you realize it's all about people scamming other people for money. really really good i fully reccomend it!
i can send it to anyone who can't find it...


well i saw it advertised one day... that the bear mountain picnic was commin' my way!
"come along &take a trip, we'll bring you up there on a ship.
bring the wife and family. bring the whole kids."
yippee!
well i run right down 'n bought a ticket... to this thing called the bear mountain picnic.
but little did i realize, i was in for a pleasant, funny surprise.
had nothin' to do with picnic. i didn't even come close to a mountain.
i hate bears.

took the wife 'n kids down to the pier, there was six-thousand people there.
everybody had a ticket for the trip, "oh well," i said, "it's a pretty big ship.
besides, anyhow, the more the merrier."

well we all got on, and whatta ya think? that big ol' boat started t'sink.
more people kept a-pilin on. that old ship was goin' dowwwwwn..
...funny way to start a picnic.

well i soon lost track of my kids 'n wife; so many people i never saw in my life.
that old ship was sinkin down in the water... there were six-thousand people tryin' t'kill each other!
dogs a-barkin', cats a-screamin', women a-yellin', men a-flyin', fists a-flyin, paper flyin',
cops a-comin', me a-runnin'...
maybe we just better call off the picnic..

i got shoved down, got pushed around. all i remember was a moanin' sound.
don't remember one thing more, all i remember was wakin' up on the shore.
my arms and legs were broken. my feet were splintered, my head was cracked.
i couldn't walk, couldn't talk, smell, feel... i couldn't see...
i didn't know where i was...i was bald....
quite lucky to be a live though!

well feelin' like i just crawled out of my casket, i grabbed a hold of my picnic basket.
took the wife 'n kids and started home,
wishin' i'd never got up that morn.

now i don't care just what you do. if you wanna have a picnic that's up t'you.
but don't tell me about it, i don't wanna hear it.
you see i just lost all my picnic spirit.
stay in my kitchen.
have a picnic in my bathroom..

now it don't seem to me quite so funny, what people wanna do f'money.
there's a brand-new gimmick every day, just to take somebody's money away.
i think we oughta take some o' these people.
and put the on a boat.
send 'em up to bear mountain.
for a picnic.

YES Dylan. god he is fantastic. <3
