Cos turkeys jus wanna hav fun
Turkeys are cool, an turkeys are wicked
An every turkey has a Mum.

I got lots of friends who are turkeys
An all of dem fear christmas time,

But dose humans destroyed it
An humans are out of dere mind,

Dey all hav a right to a life,
Not to be caged up an genetically made up
By any farmer an his wife.

TURKEYS UNITED (a song)
We gather together
As birds of a feather
Oh Turkeys United we stand!
If you would be thinner
Skip Thanksgiving dinner
We turkeys think that would be grand!
Why don’t you try it?
Go on a diet!
Chew on some succulent carrots or peas!
Why don’t you try it?
Go on a diet!
Order a pizza with sausage and cheese!
Turkeys United!
No people invited!
Turkeys United!
No people please!
As birds of a feather
Oh Turkeys United we stand!
If you would be thinner
Skip Thanksgiving dinner
We turkeys think that would be grand!
Why don’t you try it?
Go on a diet!
Chew on some succulent carrots or peas!
Why don’t you try it?
Go on a diet!

Turkeys United!
