Thomas Andrew Lehrer,
Songs and Lyrics — Post-Thanksgiving Hymn
(1989)
“ Dutch) written for and used on the November 25, 1989, broadcast of Garrison Keillor's American Radio Company of the Air We gathered together to ask the Lord's blessing For turkey and dressing And cranberry sauce. It was slightly distressing, But now we're convalescing, So sing praises to his name, And remember to floss. Our nearest and dearest, we don't mind confessing. It's sort of depressing To have them so near. Our feelings suppressing, We concentrate on fressing, (alt: We're sweetly acquiescing) As loudly we proclaim That we're glad they were here. ”
