We're going down the river
Going down today
Gonna have a big time -
We're leaving here right away
If you can go baby, that'd be cool
We're shaking off the heat
And we're skipping outta school
We're going down the river
And we're acting like a pack of fools
We'll be playing softball
Gonna have a swim
In the old abandoned quarry
Down the River around the bend
Big Family Picnic
Great barrels of food
Uncle Ben's guitar
If he's in the mood
We're going down the River
And we're acting like a pack of fools.
Chicken on the grill, and the hot dogs looking fine
So thank the creator baby just a little later
Now I'm going in to swim
the kids are out - I'm going in
(guitar)
Chicken on the grill, and the hot dogs looking fine
Well thank the creator baby just a little later
Now I'm going for a swim
the kids are out - I'm heading in
Well, it's hot hot
And the water is sweet
Toss me a cool one
And something to eat
Cousin Billy is the lifeguard
He's sleeping in the chair
Auntie Francie's tending grill
And there's children everywhere
We're going Down to a Family Picnic
A Family jewel
We're going down the river
And we're acting like a pack of fools
Yes we are
We're going down the river
And we're acting like a pack of fools.
