Title : Talking Turkey
G
You get the hotel,
Em7
I'll get the box of wine.
G
No sadder words had been spoken,
Em7
Since the dawn of time.
D C
When we were young,
Am7 Em7
We never think that it will come to this,
C Am7
Because you only get one shot;
Em7
I took my shot and missed.
G
She said "You just keep it still love,
Em7
I'll get the cameras going".
G
I'm still amazed at the things I do,
Em7
To keep my debts from growing.
D C Am7 Em7
She says "We've got some sort of symbiotic relationship",
C
And for our purposes,
Am7 Em7
She says she finds me well equipped.
G Em7
(She's barkin' up my tree),
D C
(And bouncin' on my knee).
Like some sort of Buddha-baby!
G Em7
(She's a talkin' turkey),
D C
(Smokin' my jerky).
Am7
I guess I'm in the market for what she's hawkin',
D C
Build some more shelves cause we're gonna keep stockin',
Am7 Em7 G
We can talk turkey till the turkey starts talkin' to me!
F Am7 G
Her stomach's bigger than my eyes!
(Happy Thanksgiving, baby!)
F Am7
She smothers me inside;
C D Em7
This time I daren't forget the gravy.
Em7
G
She says "I'll just freshen up now,
Em7
I'm expecting some more friends".
G
And it's becoming clear to me,
Em7
There's more filth around the bend.
D C Am7 Em7
She said I'm too functioning for her kind of internet,
C Am7 Em7
And she always gets everything that she sets out to get.
G Em7
(She's teaching birds and bees),
D C
(And always pushin' me).
Like a leather monstrosity!
G
(She's a talkin' turkey),
Em7
(Smoking the jerky).
C Am7
Better get the door 'cause I hear your friends knocking,
D C
Turn around sister and just keep walking.
Am7 Em7 G
We can talk turkey till the turkey is talking to me!
Talking to me!
F Am7
She's shaking her thighs!
G
(You know how to treat a lady),
F Am7
She smothers me and dies!
C D Em7
Happy Thanksgiving, baby,
Happy Thanksgiving, baby,
Happy Thanksgiving, baby,
Happy Thanksgiving, baby!
Baby.
