We’re like two happy turkeys on the day before Thanksgiving
We don’t know how fortunate we are to be among the living
We don’t have the nicest plumage, we’re a little underfed
But those folks with silly hats are gonna rip us both to shreds
She’s just the kind of woman that I didn’t know I needed
All my notions of a pretty girl she slowly superseded
She don’t wear those neon stockings, she’s not covered in tattoos
When we walk the lonely avenue, all the pilgrims get all confused
We’re like two happy turkeys on the day before Thanksgiving
We don’t know how fortunate we are to be among the living
We don’t have the nicest plumage, eating all this dried up grass
But those folks with silly hats are gonna blunderbuss our ass
When she wakes up in my sweatpants, she don’t need a change of clothes
When I go out in her sweatshirt, I’m hoping that nobody knows
That while she’s fearless toward the carving knife and all its worn cliché
I pray to all the turkey gods for strength to walk that lonely way
We’re like two happy turkeys on the day before Thanksgiving
We don’t know how fortunate we are to be among the living
We don’t have the nicest plumage, we’re a little underfed
But those folks with silly hats are gonna rip us both to shreds
