America has risen
It’s screeching like a beast
The visitors are missin’
They canceled the whole feast
I’m thankful that they scattered
and ran right off the land
I’m thankful when it mattered,
we had the upper hand
With turkey in our talons
And cranberries to spare
And gravy by the gallon
More than enough to share
The documents amended
To give us back our due
Oh, wouldn’t that be splendid?
If only it were true.
