Turkey Tom

1. Turkey Tom,Turkey Tom peckin' at the straw
    never sees what we saw
    has the hens all for his own
    what lies ahead, if he'd only known

Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around
Proud as a peacock, he struts the ground
Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around

2. treated like a king he only eats the best
    gobbles it up with such a zest
    getting fatter every day
    getting ready for his holiday

Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around
Proud as a peacock, he struts the ground
Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around
only not as pretty, and big and round
Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around

3. from across the coop the chickens say
    they're celebrating you, they call it turkey day
    you'll be the honored guest
    and even you'll be dressed

Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around
as he perks up, what is that sound
Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around
his eyes light up, what is that shiny thing
Oh No, Turkey Tom. Turn around
Thanksgiving Day will now begin
