Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
How plump exactly are you?
Are you big, or are you small?
Will you ever cure my blues?
On this bright Thanksgiving
With friends and family mile-wide
Will you be enough for all of us?
Enough to provide?
With tasty stuffing, gravy and potatoes, with nearly no lumps.
Through and through
Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
We give thanks to you
For without your greatness
We would be heinous
Spending Thanksgiving as just another day
Without that same connection
Our family would stray away.
So Mr. Turkey, Mr.Turkey
If you don’t mind.
Let us spend every year
Eating your kind.
