THE FAMILY PET

I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING AND I WALKED OUTSIDE
I FOUND A TURKEY IN MY YARD LOOKING FOR A FREE RIDE
I WENT TO GET SOME CORN SO I COULD FEED THAT LONELY BIRD
MY NEIGHBORS THINK I'M CRAZY AND A LITTLE BIT OBSURD
THAT TURKEY EVERY MORNING WOULD BE WAITING THERE FOR ME
TO GET A BITE TO EAT CAUSE HE WAS SO HUNGRY
AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OR SO THERE WAS NO REAL REGRET
THAT THIS TURKEY WAS TURNING INTO THE FAMILY PET
 
HE REALLY SETTLED IN AND MADE HIMSELF FEEL RIGHT AT HOME
HE'D STAY RIGHT IN THE YARD AND HE WOULD NEVER ROAM
AND EVERY SINGLE DAY, VERY EARLY IN THE MORN
I'D BE RIGHT THERE TO FEED HIM WITH MY BAG OF TASTY CORN
THAT TURKEY EVERY MORNING WOULD BE WAITING THERE FOR ME
TO GET A BITE TO EAT CAUSE HE WAS SO HUNGRY
I TAUGHT THE BIRD SOME TRICKS THAT HE NEVER DID FORGET
& I REALLY LIKED HAVING HIM AS THE FAMILY PET
 
I'D SIT THERE IN MY CHAIR AND WATCH THAT TURKEY PLAY
IT WAS MY FAVORITE THING TO DO ON A WARM SUNNY DAY
THE NEIGHBORS WOULD COME BY AND THEY'D CALL ME A FOOL
I EVEN LET THE BIRD SWIM IN THE SWIMMING POOL
THAT TURKEY EVERY MORNING WOULD BE WAITING THERE FOR ME
TO GET A BITE TO EAT CAUSE HE WAS SO HUNGRY
AND THEN I REALIZED MY YARD WAS FILLED WITH TURKEY POOP
AND THAT'S THE DAY I MADE MYSELF A POT OF TURKEY SOUP
