De Huckleberry Picnic - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
DE HUCKLEBERRY PICNIC Sung by Goss and Fox at the Theatre Comique. 
I'm floating along on de wings of peace, I feel just as slippery as axle grease; Go tell Ulysses to fetch along Saul, Dere's lots of room for de short and tall. We'll pass you in, it won't cost a cent, No landlord around to collect de rent; It's free to all to examine de ground, Don't dodge de hat when it's passed around. 
Chorus. Come join de huckleberry picnic, It's going to take place to-day; I'se on de committee to invite you all, I ain't got long to stay. 
De wicket stands in a slippery place, A good man always holds an ace; If you cross de river put on your goWn, Swim like a fish and you'll surely drown. A policeman's like a wicked sin, If you don't look out he'll swoop you in; Denounce dishonesty of every sort, But steal like an artist, don't get caught.-Chorus.
