Gravy, please
an acoustic lo-fi track in the spirit of old-fashioned holiday songs, peaceful, calm melody with precise picked lead wooden guitar, clean young teen female vocals with a romantic and emotional tone, uplifting and melodic with a sweet, harmonized, layered vocal during the chorus. the song is filled with a cheerful tone that has a very calm build up into each chorus. somewhat dreamy feel as though it was a longing for a less complicated time in each pre-chorus and post chorus. no electrical instruments and an old fiddle plays a harmony to the vocals with a wooden cello in place of a bass. soft, calming, and charming instrumental intro. the outro calms the melody even more and fades out after three seconds into a single lone fiddle note.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Cars are parked as guest arrive late
To their once-a-year dinner date
They hug each other and some shake hands
And its only moments until the fun began
Verse 2
Uncle Tom's on again about the jews
Saying, "You won't see it on TV, since they own the news!"
Auntie Becky is complaining about this year's spread
While cousin Tommy's new girlfriend gives him secret head
Pre-chorus
It's the last Thursday in November
Every year it's an event to remember
Chorus
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
(Once again)
The same old fights of "he said, she said"
(He said, she said)
I just want to have a dinner in peace
(In peace)
Slide me the gravy for my turkey, please...
(Gravy, please)
Post chorus
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
Pretend to be a loving family once again
Wishing I was somewhere else once again
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
Verse 3
Grandma Cindy still doesn't like my mom
Saying, "She should have been kicked out on the lawn!"
My Uncle Jack knows not to get involved
While my mom gets drunk and starts sawing logs
Verse 4
My father and his brother avoid cousin Mike
He's from a failed marriage and likes to steal our bike
Then there's me sitting in the corner so quietly
Taking it all in and avoiding them all deliberately
Pre-chorus
This happens every year on this day
It's a tradition and I can't avoid it, I have no say
Chorus
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
(Once again)
The same old fights of "he said, she said"
(He said, she said)
I just want to have a dinner in peace
(In peace)
Slide me the gravy for my turkey, please...
(Gravy, please)
Post chorus
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
Pretend to be a loving family once again
Wishing I was somewhere else once again
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
Verse 5
Our bellies are full and minds are now calm
Thoughts are turning to, "Should we all sing a song?"
The youngest are looking at tomorrow's deals
While cousin Mike contemplates what to steal
Verse 6
We all thank each other and head on home
Wishing each other to be safe on the road
Thankful for the memories to hold so dear
Even with the chaos from the events this year
Pre-chorus
Fall asleep on the car ride home
Grateful for the family and not being alone
Chorus
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
(Once again)
The same old fights of "he said, she said"
(He said, she said)
I just want to have a dinner in peace
(In peace)
Slide me the gravy for my turkey, please...
(Gravy, please)
Post chorus
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
Happy to be a loving family once again
Glad I wasn't somewhere else in the end
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Day once again
Thanksgiving Day
(Thanksgiving Day)
Thanksgiving Day
