All you turkeys run and hide or next week you'll be inside
This ponderous hulk I'll not believ was me.
Stuffed 'n' wined 'n' satisfied looking forward with great pride
To all the football games on my TV
Halloween is over now abut it's not so sad somehow
Thanksgiving's not so very far away
First we stuff the big ol' bird then after we have said the word
We'll carve him up and put that fowl away.
Talking, laughing, smacking lips, At buffets a dozen trips
That make you feel twice your normal size.
But you're not sure you really care 'cause the whole darn family's there
And this is happiness you realize.
Sauce 'n' spices, dressing too, potatoes, yams 'n' corn 'n' roux
Good ice cream and home made apple pie.
And when Thanksgiving Day is through; You're full of talk and food and brew
And a memory that will always make you sigh.
