[Intro – You know Dasher…]
I made [Am7] turkey and [Bm] stuffing and [D7] hot mashed po-[G]-tatoes
[Am7] Yams and a [Bm] ham and some [D7] fried green to-[G]-matoes
[Em] But I [B7] had for-[Em]-got
What my [D] friends could have or have [D7] not:
I made [Am7] turkey and [Bm] stuffing and [D7] hot mashed po-[G]-tatoes
[Am7] Yams and a [Bm] ham and some [D7] fried green to-[G]-matoes
[Em] But I [B7] had for-[Em]-got
What my [D] friends could have or have [D7] not:
[verse]
[G] Jerry could not eat cheddar
Cuz it clashes with his [D7] meds
Jean’s on a low carb diet
Couldn’t sample any [G] breads
[verse]
[G] Judy could not eat onions
cuz they filled her up with [D7] gas
Marilyn could not have eggnog
cuz it knocked her on her [G] ass
[bridge]:
[C] I made Martha [G] Stewart’s tart
[C] Sweet and [D7] high-[G]-falutin’
[D7] that 6 people couldn’t eat
[Em7] cuz it contained [D7] gluten
[verse]
[G] Shirley could not have shellfish
or she would asphyxi-[D7]-ate
There wasn’t one damn item
that could stay on Linda’s [G] plate
[2nd intro]
[Am7] My souffle was a [Bm] masterpiece, [D7] so light and so [G] airy
[Am7] But my guests couldn’t [Bm] eat it cuz [D7] no one there ate [G] dairy
[Em] I broke [B7] down and [Em] wept:
If you’re [D] vegan, then why’d you [D7] accept?
[verse]
[G] Warren got on his podium
on and on and on he [D7] went
about the evils of sodium [plus how!]
He’s lactose intoler-[G]-ant
[verse]
Hobs was prone to bloating
Couldn’t eat the [D7] broccoli
Dottie gets acid reflux
Everytime she looks at [G] me
[bridge]:
[C] When I put the [G] turkey down
[C] Sandy [A7] had to [G] say
[D7] “Ever since the world began,
I [Em7] can’t eat no [D7] tryptophan”
[verse]
[G] Everybody at the table
Was getting up in years, you [D7]see
So we skipped the meal all together
And talked about our [G] surgeries
