For Thanksgiving we had 'tatas |
|
Succotash and rudebagas |
|
Then came turkey from the oven |
|
Broke the wishbone, covenants were sealed and set |
|
On the losing end of a wishbone |
|
And I won't pretend not to mind |
|
Christmas |
|
Eve we ate at |
|
Aunty'sWe had some ham glazed with honey |
|
Rolled the |
|
Yule log on the fire |
|
Threw the ham bone to the dogs and went to bed |
|
On the losing end of a wishbone |
|
And I won't pretend not to mind |
|
On the losing end of a wishbone |
|
And I won't pretend not to mind |
|
In the morning the weathercock was heard |
|
Asking what we had learned of the earth"Is it a round place with deserts and oceansHousing as many winds as one might wish?" |
|
We were standing by the gate |
|
He said, "Oh my, it's getting late" |
|
Then he took off flying to the south |
|
With a black snake in his mouth |
|
You can shake it, break it or glue it whole |
|
No two ways about it with a broke wishbone on the losing end |
|
Shake it, break it or glue it whole |
|
No two ways about it with a broke wishbone on the losing end |
|
For St. Patrick's we had cabbage |
|
Corn beef stew, egg salad sandwich |
|
Then came whiskey from the basement |
|
Danced all night into the dawn, then held our heads |
|
On the losing end of a wishbone |
|
And I won't pretend not to mind |
|
On the losing end of a wishbone |
|
And I won't pretend not to mind |
|
Losing end of a wishbone |
|
And I won't pretend not to mind |
