The Thanksgiving Song
Love to eat turkey
'Cause it's good
Love to eat turkey
Like a good boy should
'Cause it's turkey to eat
So good
Turkey for me
Turkey for you
Let's eat the turkey
In my big brown shoe
Love to eat the turkey
At the table
I once saw a movie
With Betty Grable
Eat that turkey
All night long
Fifty million Elvis fans
Can't be wrong
Turkey lurkey doo and
Turkey lurkey dap
I eat that turkey
Then I take a nap
Thanksgiving is a special night
Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite
That's right
Turkey with gravy and cranberry
Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry
Turkey for you and
Turkey for me
Can't believe Tyson
Gave that girl V.D.
White meat, dark meat
You just can't lose
I fell off my moped
And I got a bruise
Turkey in the oven
And the buns in the toaster
I'll never take down
My Cheryl Tiegs poster
Wrap the turkey up
In aluminum foil
My brother likes to **********
With baby oil
Turkey and sweet potato pie
Sammy Davis Jr.
Only had one eye
Turkey for the girls and
Turkey for the boys
My favorite kind of pants
Are corduroys
Gobble gobble goo and
Gobble gobble gickel
I wish turkey
Only cost a nickel
Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
The Thanksgiving Song (alternately known as The Turkey Song) is a song performed by Adam Sandler discussing Thanksgiving.
The song was written by Sandler, Ian Maxtone-Graham and Robert Smigel and first appeared on an episode of Saturday Night Live in November 1992. A live performance was recorded at The Strand in Redondo Beach, California on July 25, 1993; this version, the most commonly heard version, was featured on Sandler's debut album They're All Gonna Laugh at You!
The song primarily revolves around the repetition of the word "turkey" in various two-line rhymes, many of which are non sequiturs; for instance, "turkey for you and turkey for me/Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry!"
The song is a predecessor to Sandler's more popular holiday song, The Chanukah Song, and has a similar degree of popularity in radio airplay around Thanksgiving.
Adam Sandler Trivia:
Adam Sandler received a Grammy nomination in 1993 for his debut comedy album They're All Gonna Laugh at You, his goofy and often vulgar ode to adolescent boyhood.
