TURKEYS!

If my friend is being picky-and my feelings get hurt,
I could knock her down into the dirt,
But I'd rather kick my football until the pigskin squeals.
Then I can tell my friend just how I feel,
And it's don't let the turkeys get you down
Don't let the turkeys get you down
Because even your best friend can be a turkey now and then
So don't let the turkeys get you down.

If your boss or your teacher seems to put you down
and you could get in trouble for a frown,
Just go (pffftt)in the bathroom mirror
'till you get it good and wet;
Then sweetly tell your teacher you're upset.
And it's don't let the turkeys get you down
Don't let the turkeys get you down
When it isn't safe to sass
just let the moment pass;
And don't let the turkeys get you down.
~~~~

Sometimes it seems that everyone is out to get me down
and I just can't fight the whole darn town,
but if I can let some steam off by running half a mile
then I can suffer turkeys with a smile.
And it's don't let the turkeys get you down
Don't let the turkeys get you down
If the turkeys are too numerous
just remember life is humorous
And don't let the turkeys get you down
Oh, don't let the turkeys get you down
Oh, don't let the turkeys get you down
If the turkeys are too numerous
just remember life is humorous
And don't let the turkeys get you down.
No, don't let the turkeys get you down.
