Wishbone - Lyrics by Clutch


Lyrics
(
Fallon, Gaster, Maines, Sult)
For Thanksgiving we had 'tatas, succotash, and rudebagas.
Then came turkey from the oven.
Broke the wishbone. Covenants were sealed and set.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.
Christmas Eve we ate at Aunty's. We had some ham glazed with honey.
Rolled the Yule log on the fire. Threw the hambone to the dogs and went tobed.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.
In the morning the weathercock was heard asking what we had learned of the
Earth."
Is it a round place with deserts and oceans, housing as many winds as onemight wish?"
We were standing by the gate. He said, "
Oh my, it's getting late!"
Then he took off flying to the south with a black snake in his mouth.
You can shake it, break it, or glue it whole,but there's no two ways about it with a broke wishbone on the losing end.
You can shake it, break it, or glue it whole,but there's no two ways about it with a broke wishbone on the losing end.
For St. Patrick's we had cabbage, corn beef stew, egg salad sandwich.
Then came the whiskey from the basement.
Danced all night into the dawn, then held our heads.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.
On the losing end of a wishbone and I won't pretend not to mind.
