    Tell me, Mr. Turkey,

    Don’t you feel afraid

    When you hear us talking

    About the plans we’ve made?

    Can’t you hear us telling

    How we’re going to eat

    Cranberries and stuffing

    With our turkey meat?

    Turkey, heed my warning

    Better fly away

    Or you will be sorry

    On Thanksgiving Day.

    Malibuite, I heard your warning

    About Thanksgiving Day

    Fear I not it is your City Council

    That had better fly away.

    Can’t they hear your elders

    Telling the needs of Seniors gray

    Or can’t they heed parents yelling

    Our kids lack a safe site to play.

    So thank you for your forewarning

    But on Thanksgiving I shall stay

    For it is not on me there will be dining

    Come next Election Day.
