Bob read an article (or some one showed him an article) about something like this actually happening, and he made it a song. People were supposed to go on this big picnic thing, but someone made illegitamate tickets and sold them, so WAY more people were trying to get on this boat than were supposed to, and it ended up sinking.
But man, oh man, this is one of my FAVORITE Dylan comedy numbers. Almost as good as "I Shall Be Free No. 10"!
