"The Perfect Picnic" is a song included in the Disneyland Records storybook and album set, The Story and Songs of the Orange Bird. Written by the Sherman Brothers and performed by Anita Bryant with the Mike Sammes Singers, it is heard during the part when the Orange Bird feels sorry for himself with no friend to talk to and upon returning to the Picnic Park, he encounters a family happily singing together while having a picnic at the park whom the Orange Bird thinks they are friendly to him.
==Lyrics==
The pickles in relish and mustard are spread
On the blanket right next to the cheese and the bread
So gather 'round and settle down, we'll have a perfect picnic
So gather 'round and settle down, we'll have a perfect picnic
The chicken, the ham, and the turkey are sliced
And the melons and lemonade perfectly iced
No need to wait - just take a plate, we'll have a perfect picnic
No need to wait - just take a plate, we'll have a perfect picnic
The oranges are the berries
The pears are peachy keen
And you will go bananas over every tangerine
But if we have no pickles
No turkey and no pie
It really wouldn't bother us and here's the reason why
'Cause we have a father and we have a mother
And we have a sister and we have a brother
As long as we have one another, we'll have a perfect picnic
As long as we have one another, we'll have a perfect picnic
The pickles in relish and mustard are spread
On the blanket right next to the cheese and the bread
So gather 'round and settle down, we'll have a perfect picnic
So gather 'round and settle down, we'll have a perfect picnic
The chicken, the ham, and the turkey are sliced
And the melons and lemonade perfectly iced
No need to wait - just take a plate, we'll have a perfect picnic
No need to wait - just take a plate, we'll have a perfect picnic
The oranges are the berries
The pears are peachy keen
And you will go bananas over every tangerine
But if we have no pickles
No turkey and no pie
It really wouldn't bother us and here's the reason why
'Cause we have a father and we have a mother
And we have a sister and we have a brother
As long as we have one another, we'll have a perfect picnic
As long as we have one another, we'll have a perfect picnic
So eat all you want, but leave room in your tummy
The pies and the cake and the cookies are yummy
The sun is bright, the time is right to have a perfect picnic
The sun is bright, the time is right to have a perfect picnic
