Poppy - A Picnic Party With You 1923

Off on a picnic we will go
It is the greatest fun we know
Tell all the bunch,
Pack up the lunch,
Cold eggs to munch,
while ginger ale will flow.

There will be a dancing platform
right in the park.
We will dance the polka there
until it is dark,
We will wander alone
through the trees,
the cooling breeze!
Will surely make us
want to sneeze!
We will sit upon the grass
that's heavy with dew,
We will eat ice cream
and catsup all in a stew;
But the eaters
are the skeeters
that will greet us
at my Picnic Party with you.

There will be a dancing platform
right in the park.
We will dance the polka there
until it is dark,
We will wander alone
through the trees,
the cooling breeze!
Will surely make us
want to sneeze!
We will sit upon the grass
that's heavy with dew,
We will eat ice cream
and catsup all in a stew;
But the eaters
are the skeeters
that will greet us
at my Picnic Party with you.
