Turkey, Turkey

Turkey, Turkey Turkey, turkey on the table How you lie there, meek and stable I will carve you with delight Separate your dark meat from your light Turkey, turkey moist and chewy Extra gravy makes you gooey I will consume you all night long Won’t stop chewing till the break of dawn Turkey, turkey warm and tasty It wasn't just the Pilgrims who chased thee I tracked you down with a musket gun Then hoisted you up like a prize I'd won Turkey, turkey please forgive me But you’re much tastier than fried stork kidney Your memory will linger for at least a year Till it’s time, once again, for my hunting gear
