Thanksgiving Day. And I can’t get off the couch. (grunts and groans)

Thanksgiving Day. What has made me such a slouch? “I give up!”

Fourteen servings later can you say, “Ouch!” (moans!!!!)

Turkey and gravy. Pumpkin pie. Mashed potatoes, don’t ask me why Turkey and gravy. Pumpkin pie. Mashed potatoes, don’t ask me why. Too much stuffin’ from the oven. I was happy…. ‘til now.

I don’t care if I never see food again I don’t care if I never see food again. “Could you please pass me that bottle of antacid? Thanks!”

Thanksgiving Day. I could use some self-control. “I can do this Thanksgiving Day. I could use some self-control. “I can do this! I can do this!” “I…I can’t do this….”

Thanksgiving Day. I can’t walk, so now I’ll roll. (rolling sound)

I can’t bend my body ‘cause I’m too full. “Uh, oh!”

Turkey and gravy. Pumpkin pie. Mashed potatoes, don’t ask me why Turkey and gravy. Pumpkin pie. Mashed potatoes, don’t ask me why. Too much stuffin’ from the oven. I was happy…. ‘til now.

I don’t care if I never see food again I don’t care if I never see food again. “Except for maybe Friday night pizza. That’s really good.”

I don’t care if I never see food again I don’t care if I never see food again. “Of course, you can’t go through life without Mom’s meatloaf. That’s a special case…”

I don’t care if I never see food again. “Oh, who am I kidding I don’t care if I never see food again. “Oh, who am I kidding! I’ll be back in the kitchen after the pain subsides! Dibs on the recliner!”

Yeah!!!!!!
