All the nations sitting on a blanket
Having a picnic, the Picnic of the World
There's Holland and there's Poland
And there's Iceland and there's Thailand
There's England and there's Scotland and America (that's my land)
There's Canada and Panama; there's Sweden and Aruba
Korea, Tanzania, not to mention Greece and Cuba
Mali, Bali, Mexico and Martinique
Hungary, Turkey, India and Mozambique
Haiti, Fiji, Israel and Senegal
Kenya, Ghana, Jordan and Nepal
All sitting on the same big blanket
With the same big basket
Full of sandwiches and deviled eggs
We're all drinking from the same big thermos
At the same big picnic
It's the Picnic of the World
There's Pakistan, Afghanistan, Malaya and Nigeria
There's Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. Let's not forget Liberia
There's Paraguay and Uruguay; there's Russia and there's Syria
Sudan, Japan, Iraq, Iran and what about Algeria?
Finland, Greenland, Switzerland and Vietnam
Denmark, Norway, Swaziland and Suriname
Chile, China, Guatemala, Trinidad
Tonga, Togo, Portugal and Chad
All sitting on the same big blanket
With the same warm soda
As the ants crawl on our sandwiches
We're all swatting at the same mosquitoes
Eating burned up burgers
At the Picnic of the World
There's Gambia and Zambia and Laos and Guyana
There's Libya, Namibia, Andorra and Botswana
Then there's Singapore and Ecuador, El Salvador and Lebanon
Albania, Rumania. There's Burma and Bhutan
All sitting on the same big blanket
With the same big basket
Full of problems and annoyances
But all knowing at the deep down heart of it
We're all a part of it
The Picnic of the, Picnic of the, Picnic of the World
