The Life of the Turkey ( If They Only Knew )
The turkeys life starts from an egg being layed.
The egg finally hatches and a little turkey's made.
Month after month they begin to be fed.
To fatten them up to go with mashed potatoes and bread.
They'll be served on that day we call Thanksgiving.
If they knew that they only have a few days of living.
We keep it a secret about the approaching day.
When we butcher them up to be served on a tray.
