The world has come a long ways now,
since that first Thanksgiving day.
But we still have our turkey dinner,
and give thanks as we sit down and pray.
Sweet potatoes with lots of stuffing,
along with fixings of every kind.
I love the cranberries and deserts ,
there's enough for all mankind.
And after dinner we all retreat,
to the living room and the TV.
For its football games all day long
and then everyone gets sleepy.
Yes its not like it was back then,
with the food that you had grown.
And then the flour for the bread,
was ground by hand upon a stone.
That hot turkey on your table,
was just killed the day before.
All the guests brought something,
as there was no grocery store.
We all have come a very long way
to where we're at this day.
And when we sit down to eat,
remember to thank God as we pray.
