I'm Thankful!

Verse 1

I gotta say, it's Thanksgiving Day

But I'm not thankful in the usual way

I'm being flip, I'll give you my tip

Listen closely to this Thanksgiving trip

Verse 2

I'm thankful there's nobody home

So I can celebrate all alone

I'm thankful the weather is miserable and gray

And it's gonna rain all of Thanksgiving Day

Verse 3

I'm thankful that money is kinda tight

So I can't afford turkey this night

I'm thankful there's nothin' good on TV

So there's nothin' to watch for somebody like me

Verse 4

I'm thankful the stores are all closed

So I can't buy anything even if I chose

I'm thankful the holiday is just a few days

And not a week or more in the usual way

Verse 5

I'm thankful I don't have to cook

Because I can't read a Thanksgiving recipe book

And I'm thankful I gotta work this day

So I can earn some money in the usual way

Verse 6

I'm thankful I can't visit my aunt

Because I don't wanna (I don't wanna)

I'm thankful it's not Christmas yet

So I can't buy gifts that will get me in debt

Outro

I'm thankful that Thanksgiving's almost through

And I'm thankful I'm not singing this song with you
