Hanging my stocking on the mantelpiece
Mary puttin' tinsel on the Christmas tree
Granny cuttin' cookies, pies bakin' in the oven
Mama cooked the turkey, Uncle Luther made the stuffin'

David and neighbors are a-shoveling snow
Vickie wrapping presents with pretty red bows
Grandpa makin' eggnog, popcorn is a-puffin'
Mama cooked the turkey, Uncle Luther made the stuffin'

Artie from the army's comin' home tonight
Crazy cousin Eddie stringin' up the lights
Sarah and her boyfriend, kissin' and a-huggin'
Mama cooked the turkey, Uncle Luther made the stuffin'

Daddy sittin' in his favorite chair
Tryin' to lead the family in a word of prayer
Jenny in the kitchen, sneakin' and a-munchin'
Mama cooked the turkey, Uncle Luther made the stuffin'

Anna on piano playin' Christmas songs
Tryin' to get the family just to sing along
Children all believin' that Santa is a-comin'
Mama cooked the turkey, Uncle Luther made the stuffin'

Times they are a-changin'
People keep a-movin'
I never will forget those family reunions
Christmastime was really somethin'
When Mama cooked the turkey, Uncle Luther made the stuffin'
That sure was some mighty fine stuffin'
