See how much it weighs Cut the gizzard and liver in very small pieces Mix them with bread and pour on the greases This will be the stuffing to put inside Wait, better put in some chive We have to season it to perfection It has to pass aunt Bea's inspection Add some orange to the cranberries please Mix it well and cook it with ease I mean lower the heat so it won't burn Please listen. Won't you ever learn? Cut some carrots and celery sticks Good, now hand me that cake mix This will be the finest day ever And this is my greatest endeavor Okay put the turkey in the oven Oh, did you remember to invite Mr. Boven? Aunt Bea has her eye on him She'll be acting so proper and prim Put some butter in the butter dish I hope it doesn't smell like fish Better get some potatoes peeled Six or seven is a pretty good yield Set the table now.
