Butterball Bird

Butterball Bird


O Butterball Bird, please stop resisting
and get into the sink, for a seasoned bath
Then jump into the roasting pan, so you can bake,
in the hot oven and have a shower of broth.

Believe me, I know how you feel;
rejoining the clan isn't possible in this life-
You're here in answer to our prayer
Oh, Butterball Bird, this is where you're supposed to be.
