A DAY AT THE LAKE The plans were in making A trip for to take, And everyone said Let’s go to the lake. But where shall we go Was the decision to reach, And then someone said, Let’s go to Bruce Beach, So to Bruce Beach we went But when we got there we found, There was no place to eat Except on the ground. We all wanted tables So we all sallied forth, We got in our cars And went two miles farther north. When we got there we found The tables we had sought, And we started to eat The grub we had brought. We all did eat plenty And some had too much, Of sandwich, cake, cherry pie, Tea, demonade and such. While the women washed dishes And gathered up stuff, The men sat on the grass And had a wee puff. When the dishes were washed The women did fly, Down to the lake For to wash and to dry. In a few minutes we heard Some terrible groans.

So we started again And never" did settle, Till we came to the beach With the “Old Iron Kettle”. They all rushed in the lake With a laugh and a hum, And soon on the water We saw a thick scum. When the gang had got washed And were satisfied quite, We went to Kincardine Before it got night. Down in the park The tables we spread, With pie, cake, and tarts And lots of good bread. When supper was ready We gathered some cash, And three men and a maiden Went up street with a dash. ‘ Up town they did go And quick as a dream, They landed back down With a barrel of ice cream. Now some ate a little And some ate a lot, But who ate the most I believe I’ve forgot. When supper was over We all said the same, It’s been a good day And we are glad that we came. Then we started home To our chores and to rest, Declaring Lake Huron For a picnic was best. Well we all got home early And are all feeling fine, Except one poor fellow Back on the B. Line.
