That's sure to come this time o' year to every little boy | A |
For every June the Sunday schools at picnics may be seen | B |

Where little girls are skeered to death with spiders bugs and ants | C |
An' little boys get grass stains on their go to meetin' pants | C |
It's June ag'in an' with it all what happiness is mine | D |
There's goin' to be a picnic an' I'm goin' to jine | D |

One year I jined the Baptists an' goodness how it rained | E |
But grampa says that that's the way baptizo is explained | E |
And once I jined the 'Piscopils an' had a heap o' fun | D |
But the boss of all the picnics was the Presbyteriun | D |
They had so many puddin's sallids sandwidges an' pies | F |
That a feller wisht his stummick was as hungry as his eyes | F |
Oh yes the eatin' Presbyteriuns give yer is so fine | D |
That when they have a picnic you bet I'm goin' to jine | D |

But at this time the Methodists have special claims on me | G |
For they're goin' to give a picnic on the st D V | G |
Why should a liberal universalist like me object | H |
To share the joys of fellowship with every friendly sect | H |
However het'rodox their articles of faith elsewise may be | G |
Their doctrine of fried chick'n is a savin' grace to me | G |
So on the st of June the weather bein' fine | D |
They're goin' to give a picnic and I'm goin' to jine | D |
