Umm – well, I’m sorry, but not sorry enough to resist. Look for my guest post on Kimberly Rose Johnson’s blog on Thanksgiving Day!
*****************************************************************************************
You know I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case!
Listen to me, dear, I say this is true;
We will make it, make it like Grandma wants us to
Get work done ahead, you know just in case
Of what the heck happens in all the wrong places;
You know the magazines and Martha Stewart’s choice
Make it seem it’s a snap to make the turkey moist
We’ve got our home-made, home-made and something in a jar
‘Cause there is nothing more exciting than some extras at the door!
Yea, the talk shows they say not to worry about THE day;
They say your guests will love it and you’ve no real cause for dismay;
If the oven’s on fire or the rolls haven’t risen a wink,
Just put on a smile and dump them in the kitchen sink.
Because you know I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case.
We’re bringin’ the doughboy back
He’s never let us down,
Perfectly browned; Yea!
We’re all together now,
And the rest is just as perfect from the prayer to the dessert!
Yea, the talk shows they say not to worry about THE day;
They say your guests will love it and you’ve no real cause for dismay;
If the oven’s on fire or the rolls haven’t risen a wink,
Just put on a smile and dump them in the kitchen sink.
Because you know I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case, No trouble;
I plan for just in case, just in case…
