lyrics
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Put away all your misgivings
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Turkey with all of the trimmings
We've got turkey and mashed potatoes
And gravy out the wazoo
I enjoy Thanksgiving
And you can too
The oyster dressing is really boss
But my favorite has always been the cranberry sauce
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Put away all your misgivings
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Turkey with all of the trimmings
So loosen up your belts
Loosen up your ties
Grab your fork and a couple of pies
Be thankful for antacid and pretty pink pepto
Grab up some vittles like a clinically diagnosed klepto
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Put away all your misgivings
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Turkey with all of the trimmings
The guys are playing football
In the backyard
While the old folks are yelling
'Cause their hearing is kind of hard
Cousin Tyler is singing into a drumstick
While the dog is circling the table
Trying to give the turkey a lick
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Put away all your misgivings
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Turkey with all of the trimmings
Repress your childhood memories with food and booze
Then belch like a man and take a nice long snooze
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Put away all your misgivings
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Turkey with all of the trimmingsThanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Put away all your misgivings
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Turkey with all of the trimmings
Happy Thanksgiving, folks.
