A Dog Named Zippo
We're going off to Grandma's house 'cuz turkey time is here.
They put me in the backseat with the kids and all the beer.
They pull my ears and yank my tail and stretch my tongue a mile.
I bark and drool all over them, their laughing makes me smile.
I'm a happy dog named Zippo I'll tell you the reason why ...
they're taking me to Grandma's for turkey and some pie!
I'll sit beneath the table, the kids will feed me stuff,
when my belly's like a basketball I know I've had enough!
Grandma, she don't like me, so I jump up in her lap!
I'll lick her face all over then she'll give me a good slap.
The kids will laugh and scream as Grandma drags me by my ears.
I think she's glad Thanksgiving comes only once a year!
I'm a happy dog named Zippo I'll tell you the reason why ...
they take me to Grandma's for turkey and some pie!
Grandma says it's nice to see the family gather 'round.
She always says come back next year, but please don't bring that hound!
I'm a happy dog named Zippo, I'll tell you the reason why ...
I love to eat that turkey and I love that pumpkin pie!
I eat til I can't walk, then I lay down on the floor,
Grandma grabs me by the tail and drags me out the door!
