Volunteer Firemen Picnic

It’s a grand American custom dating back to who-knows when
And it gives a man a chance to get to know his fellow men
And it lets a guy of fifty carry on like he was ten
With some elks and some mooses
Some eagles and some gooses
And some ladies with a liberal point of view
Now it’s wholesome and it’s moral, just a bit of harmless fun
And there’s no one who can quarrel with the good work that we’ve done
Our donations send an orphan for a summer in the sun
Buy some elks and some mooses
Some eagles and some gooses
And some ladies with a liberal point of view
You can shake 'em if you promise not to break 'em
After all, they’re the only pair I’ve got (Woah woah)
My daddy was a Mississippi gambler
Until he got shot (Right!)
So, you can shake 'em if you promise not to break 'em
After all, they’re the only pair I’ve got
Now we boys have been most generous; forgive us if we brag
But some mission out in China’s going to get a Christian flag
And some naked Zulu lady will receive a beaded bag
From some elks and some mooses
Some eagles and some gooses
And some ladies with a liberal point of view
