The turkey shot out of the oven Happy Thanksgiving! The turkey shot out of the oven And rocketed into the air It knocked every plate off the table And partly demolished a chair It ricocheted into a corner And burst with a deafening boom Then splattered all over the kitchen Completely obscuring the room Oh my, oh me, why didn't I follow the recipe? Oh my, oh me, why didn't I follow the recipe? It stuck to the walls and the windows It totally coated the floor There was turkey attached to the ceiling Where there'd never been turkey before It blanketed every appliance It smeared every saucer and bowl There wasn't a way I could stop it That turkey was out of control Oh my, oh me, why didn't I follow the recipe? Oh my, oh me, why didn't I follow the recipe? I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure And thought with chagrin as I mopped That I'd never again stuff a turkey With popcorn that hadn't been popped Oh my, oh me, why didn't I follow the recipe? Oh my, oh me, why didn't I follow the recipe?...... |
