The Lyrics
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That turkey is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That turkey is bound to get you,
Turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey...mmm...
(female vocal)
Thanksgiving,
Start in to eat, then soon, you’ll be eating,
Thanksgiving,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
All across the nation, (dee-de-oh!)
Families,
Get together, sharing their food on their feet,
Thanksgiving,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Thanksgiving,
Shirley, the Kays, and Herbie; they know that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, fun for the family,
Let’s do Thanksgiving!
(vocal trio)

I guess there's nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, Dick Dickson. This foaming-at-the-mouth troll wont give it a rest even on holidays . Can hsrdly wait for Christmas ... BTW, Dick what kind of sadist mother would name her child "Dick" not once but twice. You already had one strike against you in your last name, DICKson. Then you got "Dicked" again!! You got "Double Dicked", Dick!!
GFY Irv
Well Irv & Dick, I guess you wont be getting any relapse from our hoboes w/oboes tune anytime soon. So we say to both of you … Suck it and suffer, deceased ghost bandleaders! SUFFER!!!!!!!
Whoa! You gonna let that two Dick sonofaDick get away with that, Irvie? What is this world COMING TO!
I dont know Bennie, but we’ve gotta do something about it. We cant just let this guy repeat the same song over and over. Look at his worthless drivel for today. Why, hes already forgotten about your fantastic song, “Dancing in the Moonlight”. And my love song, “The Beat of My Heart”! I say we launch a mutiny against Herbie Kaye and his hoboes w/oboes tune. Who’s with me?
You go back to the lake and jump in it, Dick Dixon
Don’t bother trying to change this idiot’s mind, what little there is. Apparently the word “holiday” isn’t in his dictionary as he’s decided to double-bomb us today with entries about both Thanksgiving AND Black Friday. We’ve had thirteen entries parodying this song this week alone, all from the same ‘tard who loves his geezer gals. Notice how he writes the vast majority of his comments under my name and writing style (and yours — see above) despite his repeated use of the same song and similar themes? Leave it to George&GermaineBryantFan to ruin a holiday for all of us by tacking his superhero song onto it.
