	Story Behind the Song This funny song was written for Kat Caverly (www.photocartoonist.com). After hearing my zany Halloween music, she asked if I could do any other holidays. So, I took the old "Johnny Comes Marching Home" folk song and created a song about a dysfunctional family at Thanksgiving. Everyone justs wants to give everyone else the bird! Lyrics Our family is getting together on Turkey Day, Hurray Thanksgiving tradition is something here to stay, Hurray We're cooking up a glorious bird, everyone's coming, haven't you heard? And we'll all give thanks in each our own way With kind words for each other, Thanksgiving Day Mommy is in the kitchen on Turkey Day, Hurray She has something she'd always wanted to say, Today She works two jobs, cooks all the meals, Walks the dog, has potatoes to peel It's time to give everyone the bird, she says It's time to give everyone the bird Daddy is planning to help Thanksgiving Day, Hurray He goes in the woods and looks for wild turkey, prey He comes back smelling like turkey bourbon Empty-handed, and his words a slurrin' It's time to give everyone the bird, he says It's time to give everyone the bird Grandparents are driving down for Turkey Day, Hurray They always flatten stop signs on their way, Clear the way! Granny goes on about her stuffing We open the turkey, there's always nothing It's time to give everyone the bird, she says It's time to give everyone the bird Little brother loves his Turkey Day, Hurray Until the parents tell him what to do, and say He goes to his room and smashes his toys, He'd rather go play with the other boys It's time to give everyone the bird, he says It's time to give everyone the bird It's the first time I'm not home for, Macy's Day I'm off at college and really want to keep it, that way I'd rather eat KFC in my dorm, cause my family ain't the norm So it's time to give everyone the bird, I say It's time to give everyone the bird The turkeys come marching one by one, Gobble, Gobble The turkeys come marching one by one, Gobble, Gobble This holiday tale that you've heard The pilgrims might think is really absurd So it's time to give everyone the bird It's time to give everyone the bird.
