GYou get the hotel, 
Em7I'll get the box of wine. 
GNo sadder words had been spoken, 
Em7Since the dawn of time. 
When Dwe were yCoung, 
We never tAm7hink that it will cEm7ome to this, 
Because you oCnly get one sAm7hot; 
I took my sEm7hot and missed. 
GShe said "You just keep it still love, 
Em7I'll get the cameras going". 
GI'm still amazed at the things I do, 
Em7To keep my debts from growing. 
She saDys "We'vCe got some sort of Am7symbiotic rEm7elationship", 
And for our puCrposes, 
She sAm7ays she finds me Em7well equipped. 
G(She's barkin' up my tEm7ree), 
(And boDuncin' on my kCnee). 
G(She's a talkin' Em7turkey), 
(SmDokin' my jeCrky). 
Am7I guess I'm in the market for what she's hawkin', 
DBuild some more shelves cause we're gConna keep stockin', 
WAm7e can talk turkey till the tuEm7rkey starts talkin' to me! G  
FHer stomach's biAm7gger than my eGyes! 
FShe smothers Am7me inside; 
CThis time I daDren't forget the grEm7avy. 
Em7
GShe says "I'll just freshen up now, 
Em7I'm expecting some more friends". 
And Git's becoming clear to me, 
There's more Em7filth around the bend. 
DShe said I'm tCoo functioning foAm7r her kind of inEm7ternet, 
And she aClways gets eveAm7rything that she sets oEm7ut to get. 
G(She's teEm7aching birds and bees), 
D(And always pushin' Cme). 
G(She's a talkin' turkey), 
Em7(Smoking the jerky). 
CBetter get the door 'cause I hAm7ear your friends knocking, 
DTurn around sister and juCst keep walking. 
Am7We can talk turkey till the Em7turkey is talking to mGe! 
FShe's shaking Am7her thighs! 
G(You know how to treat a lady), 
FShe smothers Am7me and dies! 
CHappy ThanksgivDing, babyEm7,
