The Lyrics
Everybody's been trying to catch that turkey all Thanksgiving. Hope it ain't too late to play this.
[Verse 1]
Well, if your food gets away from Thanksgiving,
It's a turkey, man, it does its thing.
It's been baked and hanged around, so the turkey ran,
and kicked the ground.
But now we catch it, take it out,
And you may hear the gravy shout.
We must catch our hungry food,
Thanksgiving Day, we're in the mood.
[Chorus]
Whether you'd be cooking, you know that you'd be checking,
If the turkey's alive, turkey's alive.
See the sausage running and mashed potatoes stunning,
Yes, the turkey's alive, turkey's alive.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, turkey's alive.
Turkey's alive.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Turkey's alive.
[Verse 2]
Well, the neighborhood has seen the news,
And if the turkey's here, they may turn it loose.
It's got big brown feathers on its back,
Cause it doesn't need to pick up the slack.
But still we catch it, take it out,
And you still hear the gravy shout,
We must catch our hungry food,
Thanksgiving Day, we're in the mood.
[Chorus]
Whether you'd be cooking, you know that you'd be checking,
If the turkey's alive, turkey's alive.
See the sausage running and mashed potatoes stunning,
Yes, the turkey's alive, turkey's alive.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, turkey's alive.
Turkey's alive.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Turkey's alive.
[Bridge]
It's running all day, go catch that turkey.
Take that turkey away.
It's running all day, take that turkey away.
That turkey's alive, man.
[Repeat first verse]
Well, if your food gets away from Thanksgiving,
It's a turkey, man, it does its thing.
It's been baked and hanged around, so the turkey ran,
and kicked the ground.
But now we catch it, take it out,
And you may hear the gravy shout.
We must catch our hungry food,
Thanksgiving Day, we're in the mood.
[Chorus]
Whether you'd be cooking, you know that you'd be checking,
If the turkey's alive, turkey's alive.
See the sausage running and mashed potatoes stunning,
Yes, the turkey's alive, turkey's alive.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, turkey's alive.
Turkey's alive.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Turkey's alive.
[Outro]
It's running all day, go catch that turkey.
Take that turkey away.
It's running all day, take that turkey away.
That turkey's alive, man.
It's running all day, go catch that turkey.
Take that turkey away.
Catching it all day,
Take that turkey away.
That turkey's alive, man.
It's running all day, go catch that turkey.
Take that turkey away.
It's running all day, take that turkey away.
That turkey's alive, man.
It's running all day, go catch that turkey.
Take that turkey away.
It's running all day, take that turkey away.
That turkey's alive, man.

Now I'm getting a visual of a turkey dancing to this song. If nothing else it reminds me of the Sledgehammer music video.
