"oh Great Turkey"

I raised a turkey and his name was Ben.
He was a great turkey he's my best friend.

I talked to him and told him my dreams.
He was my best friend and we made a good team.

My dad said hey tell Ben good-bye.
I looked at daddy and said tell me why?

My dad said we need a turkey for Thanksgiving day.
I told my dad I have two dollars will that pay his way.

He said make a deal that turkey day clock is ticken.
I said to dad hey this year lets have roasted chicken.
