  1. Thanksgiving

From the recording Glass Break Dementia

Share

<p>I've been writing songs about various holidays for many years -- some day it's likely that my Greatest Hits album will be a calendar...</p>
<p>This is the first song I've ever written starting from a Facebook status update. &nbsp;"<strong style="font-weight: bold;">Dolph Chaney</strong>&nbsp;has a big bird brining in a bucket." &nbsp;(Which I did -- a 21-pounder to feed us and the in-laws.) &nbsp;As soon as I wrote that, I started bopping all around the house saying "big bird brining in a bucket" to myself, and in less time than it takes to make a pot of gravy I had the song.</p>

Lyrics

<p>Thanksgiving</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got a big bird brining in a bucket</p>
<p>Got a big bird brining in a bucket</p>
<p>Got a big bird brining in a bucket</p>
<p>And I'm thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got a safe house sitting in a suburb</p>
<p>Got a safe house sitting in a suburb</p>
<p>Got a safe house sitting in a suburb</p>
<p>And I'm thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But mostly</p>
<p>I thank you</p>
<p>for you</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got rutabagers, taters and tomaters</p>
<p>Got rutabagers, taters and tomaters</p>
<p>Got rutabagers, taters and tomaters</p>
<p>And I'm thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got a good dog giving me her belly</p>
<p>Got a good dog giving me her belly</p>
<p>Got a good dog giving me her belly</p>
<p>And I'm thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But mostly</p>
<p>I thank you</p>
<p>for you</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got cranberries cryin' in the crisper</p>
<p>Got cranberries cryin' in the crisper</p>
<p>Got cranberries cryin' in the crisper</p>
<p>And I'm thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got kittycats curlin' up and cuddlin'</p>
<p>Got kittycats curlin' up and cuddlin'</p>
<p>Got kittycats curlin' up and cuddlin'</p>
<p>And I'm thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But mostly</p>
<p>I thank you</p>
<p>for you</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got a fine funny fun-filled family</p>
<p>Got a fine funny fun-filled family</p>
<p>Got a fine funny fun-filled family</p>
<p>And I'm thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Got a beauty love calls me her bucket</p>
<p>Got a beauty love calls me her bucket</p>
<p>So I&rsquo;ll take the turkey from the bucket, give it to the bucket</p>
<p>And be thankful that I do</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
