Turkey Time

(to the tune of “Jingle Bells”)

[Verse 1]
Turkey in the oven,
Potatoes on the stove,
Family’s coming over,
And they’re bringing casseroles!
The table’s set with care,
With sides of every kind,
But Grandma brought her fruitcake,
Which we’ll pretend to find!

[Chorus]
Oh, turkey time, gravy’s fine,
Pass the mashed potatoes,
Green beans, pies, and sweet surprise—
Let’s wear our stretchy clothes!
Oh, turkey time, pumpkin pie,
Let’s all go back for more,
We’ll nap all day, then feast away—
And hit the leftovers!

[Verse 2]
Uncle Bob’s asleep now,
The kids have formed a band,
Aunt Betty brought her Jell-O mold,
But no one understands.
The football’s on the screen,
Our bellies round and tight,
We made it through the meal once more—
Leftovers start tonight!

[Chorus]
Oh, turkey time, gravy’s fine,
Pass the mashed potatoes,
Green beans, pies, and sweet surprise—
Let’s wear our stretchy clothes!
Oh, turkey time, pumpkin pie,
Let’s all go back for more,
We’ll nap all day, then feast away—
And hit the leftovers!
