Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Fold-out chairs in the back of the van Grandma’s yelling “Don’t forget the jam” Kids count cows on the way through town Sunroof open Windows down [Chorus] Pass the potato salad Pile that paper plate We only get one day like this We’re not gonna be late Tag You’re it We’re running Till we’re out of breath and shoes Annual family picnic Nothing I’d rather do [Verse 2] Uncle Joe’s got the checkered cloth Auntie’s guarding the coleslaw bowl Cousins dive for the watermelon Spit seeds Making up new goals [Chorus] Pass the potato salad Pile that paper plate We only get one day like this We’re not gonna be late Tag You’re it We’re running Till we’re out of breath and shoes Annual family picnic Nothing I’d rather do [Bridge] Three-legged race We tumble and shout (hey!) Ring toss queens and the sack race crowd Somebody starts a wonky wave We laugh so hard we forget to film it [Chorus] Pass the potato salad Pile that paper plate We only get one day like this We’re not gonna be late Hide and seek till sunset Fireflies for our clues Annual family picnic I spend the year missing you

Bright acoustic pop with handclaps, brushed drums, and a sunny bass groove; verses lean on playful storytelling with light ukulele strums, chorus opens wider with stacked male/female vocals and tambourine for that big family singalong feel
