Thanksgiving Blues
Turkey is smoking The gravy is burnt
Cranberry’s missin’ I hadn’t learnt
Should’ve called grandma She’d know just what to do
Grandma don’t answer I got them Thanksgivin’ blues
The in-laws are coming Bringing their friends
The toilet has backed up The fun never ends
Next time I’ll tell them We’ve all got the flu
No sign of grandma I got them Thanksgivin’ blues
There’s football on TV Just after one
Don’t know who’s playing But it sure sounds like fun
Festive occasions I know you love them too
Hope grandma’s not wasted I got them Thanksgivin’ blues
Kids on their iPads Mom’s got her wine
I’m in my easy chair Marking the time
Pie’s overrated Ambrosia too
Grandma just show’d up I got them Thanksgivin’ blues
There’s cornbread dressin’ Calling my name
Jim’s on his blessin’ But no word has changed
Amen y’all! We got work to do
Grandma brought fixins’ I love them Thanksgivin’ blues
