Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Hey! Hey! Today’s the day
That I’ve been waiting for
What say? Let’s steal away
The car is at the door
Chorus
Let’s go out in the sunshine
Picture all we can do
Honey, this is the one time
We’ll have a picnic for two
On a carpet of flowers
‘Neath a ceiling of blue
We can while away hours
And have a picnic for two
We’ll hug, we’ll kiss
Sample the lunch you made
I’ll try your pie
Cookies and lemonade
What a perfect day this is
For proposing to you
When I make you the Missus
Oh, what a picnic for two
- Green trees, a tender breeze
And sunny skies above
Birds sing, there’s ev’rything
We need for making love
