Introducing: 'The Fresh Turkey of West Philly'

Nothing goes better with a story about a wild turkey on the loose in West Philly than a parody video about said turkey done to the tune of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Nothing goes better as a side to a story about a wild turkey on the loose in West Philly than a parody video about said turkey done to the tune of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Here's Stephanie "Scoop Dogg" Farr's video. Lyrics are below. Sing along.

"The Fresh Turkey of West Philly"

Now this is a story all about how

One turkey's life got flipped turned upside down.

I'd like some time, it'll just take a minute, really

I'll tell you how he became the Fresh Turkey of West Philly.

//

In West Philadelphia born and raised

At Bartram's Garden is where he spent most of his days.

Pecking, gobbling, relaxing all cool

Picking up some bird seed outside of the pool.

When his big ol' brother, who was up to no good

Started making trouble in their neighborhood.

They got in one little fight and this turkey got scared

And said "I'm moving to West Philly I hope the hood is prepared."

//

The turkey gobbled for a cab but when none came near,

He took off on foot, determined to persevere.

If anything I could say that this bird was whack,

But I thought nah, forget it, my homes will bounce back.

//

He strolled up to some houses at Regent and 45th

And his mere presence started an urban myth.

He looked at his kingdom and realized it was all so silly

That he'd finally become the Fresh Turkey of West Philly.
