When you go on a picnic
    be careful where yo settle
Don’t sit on a blackberry bush
    and don’t sit on a nettle
If someone makes this sad mistake
    you can always spot em
They’ve got tears in both eyes
    and blisters on their bottom.

Chorus:
Use your ears, use eyes
You could be in for a big surprise
Mind your feet, mind your head
And watch out where you tread.

Now cows are usually friendly,
    but here’s some good advice
They’ve fond of making mud pies,
    except they don’t smell so nice
So if you’re walking across a field
    be careful where you’re treading
You could cover shoe with a real strange goo
    and that’s what’s called muck spreading.

Walking in the country,
    you may need a rest
A shadey spot that’s not so hot
    is usually the best
You may choose an apple tree
    whose leaves and branches spread
But an apple may fall from a tree so tall
    and bonk you on your head.
