Clutch (band) - Wishbone lyrics

For Thanksgiving we had 'tatas Succotash and rutabagas Then came turkey from the oven Broke the wishbone Covenants were sealed and set On the losing end of a wishbone And I won't pretend not to mind Christmas Eve we ate at Aunty's We had some ham glazed with honey Rolled the Yule log on the fire Threw the hambone to the dogs and went to bed On the losing end of a wishbone And I won't pretend not to mind In the morning the weatherco*k was heard Asking what we had learned of the Earth "Is it a round place with deserts and oceans Housing as many winds as one might wish?" We were standing by the gate He said, "Oh my, it's getting late!" Then he took off flying to the south With a black snake in his mouth You can shake it, break it, or glue it whole No two ways about it with a broke wishbone On the losing end For St. Patrick's we had cabbage Corned beef stew, egg salad sandwich Then came whiskey from the basement Danced all night into the dawn Then held our heads On the losing end of a wishbone And I won't pretend not to mind
