Hey, you little turkey in the oven.

Our Mom's are cooking

you up with so much lovin.

Can't you see we been waitin so long?

Gee, we hope that nothin is wrong.

We will be real good while  you cook away.

This is our special Thanksgiving Day.

Those peas are the strangest

we have ever seen.

They are that funny lookin shade of green.

Those eggs too, those devil things,

you can bet somebody will be sure to bring.

There's that sauce stuff

too that wobbles around,

made with some berries that somebody found.

There is that stuffing that goes with you.

To eat that is about all we can do.

But what about those

mashed potatoes in a blob,

with that gravy stuff

that drizzles down the glob.

Yes, we are gonna give thanks today.

We promise lots of prayers we are gonna say.

But can't you hurry up,

we are wigglin in our seats.

Cause best of all we love you to eat!
