Jonathan's 2008 Turkey Song

It's all a bunch of silliness, really...

Here's my Thanksgiving song (The Turkey song)
with the help of my sister, my brother, my mom, and Carrie!

Lyrics:
In a special way
It's a mighty holiday
No newspapers in the racks
Parade floats on the street
People dancing on their feet
Even some doing jumping jacks

Last spring we went to the farm for fun
And we saw a little one
At the farm of farmer Dan
They called the turkey Tom
Because he was the bomb
And now we're going to roast him in a pan

Probably be a family fight
And no one will be right
Oh, why can't they just relax
Here comes the turkey,
We'll turn him into jerky
We're gonna' take him to the ax

Turkeys can be the meanest,
When they're at their leanest
So they've been fattening through the year
And it's the middle
Of time when weather is brittle
So one thing is very, very clear

Everyone's coming to eat
So much they won't see their feet
Afterwards they'll need Ex-Lax
Here comes the turkey,
We'll turn him into jerky
We're gonna' take him to the ax

Tamed turkeys do not fly
And no one quite knows why
But some people do the turkey trot
Some guests won't have the will
To stop when they have their fill
So we'll get the biggest bird they've got

(Hope he won't be too large) Hope he won't be so big
(to be stuffed by Grandma Marge) we mistake him for a pig
He'll probably make a mess of the oven racks
Oh maybe we'll fry him in oil
Or maybe we'll watch him broil
Either way we're gonna' take him to the ax

Oh what a treat
It was to eat that meat
And the tablecloth's all covered in candle wax
And on this Thanksgiving day
When I tell my wife that I am gay...
I hope that she won't take me to the ax.
