day,
I'm glad ve have Thanksgivin'
But wouldn't it be splendid
If there could only be some way
To skip one, when it's ended?
Somehow it seems that pa fergits
There's any cause fer laughter.
And only wants to give us fits
For livin', the day after.
He growl'; around and seems almost
To think we're all agin' him;
All day it's nothin' but a roast,
As though old Nick was in hira.
I'm glad Thanksgivin' comes, but, say.
They'd be less hate and scorn in
The world if we could skip a day
Beginnin' the next inornin'.
