Matthew West's 'Happy Thanksgiving' is a humorous, lighthearted song celebrating Thanksgiving Day. It pokes fun at how Christmas songs dominate the holiday season while Thanksgiving gets overlooked. The lyrics focus on festive food like turkey, cranberry jelly, and dinner rolls, as well as family traditions such as wearing stretchy pants and dealing with political arguments. The catchy 'gobble gobble' chorus invites listeners to join in the fun. While the song mentions 'Jesus 2020' in passing, its overall tone is comedic and secular, centered on the cultural aspects of Thanksgiving rather than Christian faith or gratitude toward God.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There are so many songs about Christmas
The reindeer, the lights and the gifts
We sing "chestnuts are roasting" and "marshmallows toasting"
And "here comes old jolly Saint Nick"
Now don't get me wrong, I sure love all those songs
But one holiday gets left out
You see, no one remembers a song for November
But that's gonna change starting now
One, two, one, two, three, four
Gobble gobble one, gobble gobble two
Gobble gobble me, gobble gobble you (listen to me now)
Gobble gobble three, gobble gobble four
Gobble gobble please can I have some more
Oh my my, get that turkey in my belly
Oh my my, with the cranberry jelly
Oh my my, come on and sing it with me
Happy Thanksgiving
I stick a straw in the gravy boat
I'ma eat a dozen dinner rolls
Stretchy pants on that's how I roll
No judgment here, no judgment here
Grandpa's passed out passing gas (come on)
But we got pumpkin candles burning just for that (light 'em up)
Someone brought up politics, now everybody's mad (Jesus 2020)
But you can't be mad when when the whole world's singing
Gobble gobble one, gobble gobble two (come on)
Gobble gobble me, gobble gobble you (everybody now)
Gobble gobble three, gobble gobble four
Gobble gobble please can I have some more
Oh my my, get that turkey in my belly
Oh my my, with the cranberry jelly
Oh my my, come on and sing it with me
Happy Thanksgiving
Gobble gobble one, gobble gobble two
Gobble gobble me, gobble gobble you (listen to me now)
Gobble gobble three, gobble gobble four
Gobble gobble please can I have some more
Happy Thanksgiving everybody
