The Picnic

The Picnic

Instrumental, as written in this arrangement

Vocal version, performed, arranged, and produced by the composer Gary Knowles

Well what you say you and I go on a picnic?

I can think of many places we can go

We can find a place somewhere near the lakeside

or maybe on  a hill where flowers grow

I can make or we can go and buy a sandwich

Buy some wine or we can make some lemonade

I like chips and I know that you like apples

I’ll get both then we’ll be on our way

Don’t forget to bring a little bug spray

And I know ants will really like our food

Watch our steps we both get poison ivy

on second thought we could just stay home

Still I say I’d like for us to have a picnic

That weather guy he talks about a little rain

I don’t care – we have a sense of adventure!

so grab the stuff and we’ll be on our way

So here we are now it’s time to have our picnic

The ants and rain well they won’t bother us a bit

I’m pretty sure what you’re sitting on

doesn’t have three leaves – like poison ivy!

Baby I’m having fun

why aren’t you?
