Day 30: Turkey Hall of Fame (Song-a-day January)

Day 30: Turkey Hall Of Fame

By Pony Lee & David Coile

Lyrics:

Birds of a feather flock together
And so they gave them names
Tina and Louie, they were ready
To play some turkey games

They were playing peek-a-boo
Flew up to the second floor
They became the peeping toms
And would be forever more

Gobble gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
They loved them worms and grains
Gobble gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
In the turkey hall of fame

Doctors, nurses and patients
They loved them little guys
Every time they saw them
You know they'd get a rise

Gobble gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
They loved them worms and grains
Gobble gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
In the turkey hall of fame

Don't know why that mournful day
The turkey crossed the road
But Tina tried, got squashed and died
That's how the story goes

Gobble gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
They loved them worms and grains
Gobble gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
In the Longmont United Hospital
Same day surgery, post op
And recovery unit
Turkey hall of fame

Back in December, Pony Lee and I talked about writing a song together, and I suggested we set something up in January. About a week ago, he called me and said he wanted to write a song about a turkey that was the mascot for Longmont United Hospital. What's more, he wanted to write it at the hospital and sing it to the staff. So that's what we did...
