"Let's Have a Kiki/Turkey Lurkey Time" is a mash-up featured in Thanksgiving, the eighth episode of Season Four. Blending the 2012 single by the Scissor Sisters with a song from the 1968 musical Promises, Promises, the mash-up is sung by Isabelle, Kurt, and Rachel, with back-up vocals from Brody and Isabelle's friends.

The performance begins after the arrival of Isabelle's friends at Rachel and Kurt's apartment. Isabelle is nowhere to be seen until Kurt picks up his phone to hear that she is on her way. The first verse begins as Isabelle speaks to Kurt in the City. Isabelle enters their apartment and she, Rachel and Kurt begin to sing the chorus of the song as they "lock the doors tight." Everyone dances along to the song happily enjoying themselves. Rachel then starts singing Turkey Lurkey Time which everyone joins in with and then after the song then transits back to Let's Have a Kiki, with Brody joining in. As the song ends, Rachel squeals that it's the "Best Thanksgiving ever!"

Lyrics[]

Isabelle:
Hey, I’m calling you back.
Oh, she’s been a bitch tonight!
And by bitch I mean this rain
No cabs, nowhere.

So I had to put on the wig, and the heels,
And the lashes and the ear
And take the train to the club
And you know the MTA should stand for:
Mothers Touching My Ass

So then I get to the club
Looking like a drowned, harassed rat
And I'm greeted, not by Miss Rose at the door
But our friend, Johnny Five-O

Yes honey, the NYPD shut down the party
So no fee for me, and I don't even know what's the tea!
So I hope you’re up, girl,
'Cause we are all coming over

Lock the doors, lower the blinds
Fire up the smoke machine
And put on you heels
'Cause I know exactly what we need!

Isabelle, Kurt, and Rachel with the Orphans:
Let’s have a kiki

Isabelle:
I wanna have a kiki!

Kurt:
Lock the doors (Rachel: Tight)

Isabelle, Kurt, and Rachel with the Orphans:
Let’s have a kiki (Kurt: Mother)

Isabelle:
I’m gonna let you have it

Isabelle, Kurt, and Rachel with the Orphans:
Let's have a kiki

I wanna have kiki (Kurt: Dive) (Rachel: Turn)
Work

We’re gonna serve

Kurt:
And work

Rachel:
And turn

Isabelle:
And hon-hon-honey

The Orphans:
Kiki, oh yeah

Kurt:
A kiki is a party for calming all your nerves
We’re spilling tea and dishing just deserts when they deserve

Isabelle:
And though the sun is rising, few may choose to leave
So shade that lid and we'll all bid adieu to your ennui

Isabelle, Kurt, and Rachel with the Orphans:
Let’s have a kiki

I wanna have a kiki!

Rachel:
It's turkey lurkey time
Tom turkey ran away but he just came home
It's turkey lurkey time
He's really home to stay, never one to roam
Let's make a wish
And may all your wishes come true

Kurt:
Turkey lurkey
goosey loosey

Rachel with the Orphans (and Kurt):
Some for uncle Joe, (some for cousin Lucy)

Rachel with Isabelle, Kurt and the Orphans:
Everybody gather 'round the table
Dig in, dinner's being served
Eat all the turkey you are able
Can't you see a partridge in a pear tree?
Climb up and bring it down for me
That's something I would like to see

Isabelle:
This kiki is marvelous!
