Turkeys at the MEC

Turkeys at the MEC
lyrics by Darryl Cherney

music: Turkeys in the Straw

(G) Well I had a little measure and I called it measure B

And the darn thing was supposed to save the (D) trees

But the (G) industry mounted such publicity

That the only thing it wound up saving (D) was (G) LP

Chorus:

(G) Turkeys at the MEC (yek, yek, yek)

(C) Turkeys making law (haw, haw, haw)

Well (G) Bob Whitney danced with an old (D) chainsaw

And he (G) wrote a little measure it was Turkeys (D) making (G) law

Well Mike Morford said to Tony Orth

If we want to pass this measure well we better push if forth

But neither of them wanted to do any of the work

So we lost the election and we looked like jerks

(repeat chorus)

Well Betty Ball said to Gary my dear

What the hell are all these turkeys doing here

The environmental center it started out so good

But then in came the turkeys and there went the neighborhood

(repeat chorus)

And even if Measure B should win

Well that's when the real trouble would begin

'Cause the rules would be written by the Board of Supes

And everyone knows that they're industry dupes
