Elephant in the Room

Thank God for fermentation
Fermentation for the wine
Thank wine for conversation
With these relatives in-law of mine
Thank these relatives for you, babe
Thank you for the bouncing boy
Doing the best that he can do to keep this
Family entertained as it navigates
The treacherous waters of talkin' small
On this of all Thanksgivings
When even the weather can go from 0 to an all out brawl
In seconds, just listen:
«'Been kind of a warm November»
«God, you and the Climate Change again
Why you gotta be all doom and gloom?»
Whoo, boy! ‘least no one’s mentioned the giant elephant in the room
Feels good to be together, whether
You think the world is ending soon
Or about to get better, so when
The bottles being passed, better fill your glass
Cheers, we’re in it for the long haul
On this of all Thanksgivings
When even our sports can go from zero to an all out brawl
In seconds, be careful:
«Have you ever spent time in Cleveland?» «NO!»
«South Side of Chicago?» «NO!»
«St. Louis?» «NO!»
«Ever heard about a fellow named Ricketts?» «YES!»
«Anything to do with his politics?» «NO!»
How ‘bout them Cubs?
«How ‘bout them Cubs?»
Just don’t you mention a giant elephant
I mentioned it once and I think I got away with it
Just say, «Hey, what giant elephant in the room?»
