Words:
Albuquerque is a turkey
And he's feathered and he's fine
And he wobbles, and he gobbles
And he's absolutely mine
He's the best pet
That you can get
Better than a dog or cat
He's my Albuquerque turkey
And I'm awfully proud of that
He once told me,
Very frankly, he preferred to be a pet
Not the main course of my dinner
And I told him not to fret
And my Albuquerque turkey
Is so happy in his bed
Because for our Thanksgiving dinner
We'll have chow lo mein instead
