Thanksgiving

A Turkey Hen and a Turkey Tom (tune of Polly Wolly Doodle)

Oh, a turkey mom and a turkey tom
Go gobble, gobble gobble all day,
When the moon goes down
And the sun comes around,
They gobble, gobble, gobble all the day.

Refrain:

Arm in arm, on the farm,
As they strut their merry way,
Oh a turkey mom, and a turkey tom
Go gobble, gobble, gobble all the day.

Ah, they love to be with their family
And gobble, gobble, gobble all the day,
And they say hello to the folks they know
And gobble, gobble, gobble all the day.

Refrain:

Oh, they say how's tricks to the ducks and the chicks
With a gobble, gobble gobble all the day,
Oh they greet the frog on the mill pond log,
With a gobble, gobble, gobble all the day.

Refrain.

Five Turkeys in a Tree

Five fat turkeys are we.
We slept all night in a tree.
When the cook came around,
We couldn't be found
That's why we're here, you see!

Gobble, Gobble

When the turkey gobbles, gobbles,
It is plump and proud and perky.
When our family gobbles, gobbles,
We are gobbling down the turkey.

Gobble, Gobble

A turkey is a funny bird
His head goes wobble, wobble.
But he only knows one word!
Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

Gobble, gobble, gobble
Fat turkey am I
I'm not here for living
I'm here for Thanksgiving
Gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkey am I.

Grandpa's Turkey

There's a big fat turkey on Grandpa's farm
Who thinks he's really great.
He spreads his tail into a great big fan,
And he struts around all day.
gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble
He'll sing his song another way
Upon Thanksgiving Day!

God Creator

God Creator,
God Creator,
We give thanks,
We give thanks,
For our many blessings,
For our many blessings,
We thank you,
We thank you.

God's Blessings (tune of Twinkle Twinkle)

We are thankful for the ways
That God's blessed us all today.
Thanks for moms and dads so dear.
Thanks for food and clothes we wear.
We are thankful for the ways
That God's blessed us all today.

Grandpa's Turkey

There's a big fat turkey on grandpa's farm
Who thinks he's really great.
He spreads his tail into a great big fan,
And he struts around all day,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble
He'll sing his song another way upon Thanksgiving Day!

Hark to the Chimes

Hark to the chimes,
Come bow your head.
Thanks be to God,
For this good bread.

I Am Thankful

I am thankful for pets.
I am thankful for school.
I am thankful when I
Can swim in a pool.
I am thankful for home,
And the food that I eat.
I am thankful for all
The new friends that I meet.
I am thankful for health,
And for my family
I'm especially thankful
That I am just ME!

I Ate Too Much

I ate too much turkey,
I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie,
I'm stuffed up with muffins
And much to much stuffin'
I'm probably going to die.
I piled up my plate
And I ate and I ate,
But I wish I had known when to stop.
For I'm so crammed with yams
Sauces, gravies, and jams
That my buttons are starting to pop.
I'm full of tomatoes
And French fried potatoes,
My stomach is swollen and sore.
But there's still some dessert,
So I guess it won't hurt
If I eat just a little bit more.

If You're Thankful (tune of If You're Happy)

If you're thankful and you know it clap your hands.
If you're thankful and you know it clap your hands.
If you're thankful and you know it, then your face will surely show it,
If you're thankful and you know it clap your hands.
...stomp your feet
...tap your head
...turn around
...shout hurrah
...say a prayer

Let's Be Thankful (tune of Twinkle Twinkle)

Let's be thankful for this day
For our friends and for our play
Let's be thankful, let's be glad,
For our food and the things we have.
Let's give thanks for you and me
And our home and family.

Pumpkins and Turkeys

Five yellow pumpkins side by side
Wanted to run away and hide.
Five turkey gobblers all in a row,
Said, "Hop on our backs and away we'll go!"
Five yellow pumpkins and the turkeys, too,
On Thanksgiving Day, away they flew.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
Eight, nine, ten, up toward heaven.
The man in the moon laughed, "Ho, ho, ho!
I think they were very wise to go!"

Thanks

Thanks Creator for the seeds.
Thanks Creator for the seeds.
I am glad for seeds.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Everyday we eat our dinner.
Our table is very small.
There's room for father, mother, sister, brother, and me - that's all.
But when it's Thanksgiving Day and the company comes,
You'd scarcely believe your eyes.
For that very same reason, the table stretches until it is just this size!

Thanksgiving Prayer

Mother, father, brother, sister
Everyone will pray
To our heavenly Father
On this Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving's A Wonderful Thing (tune of My Bonnie)

My uncle is eating the drumstick, my Auntie is chewing the wing,
My cousin is nibbling the stuffing, Thanksgiving's a wonderful thing.

Refrain:  Bring back, bring back, oh bring back Thanksgiving for me, for me, (repeat), (repeat), (repeat)

My daddy loves soft mashed potatoes, my mother, the cranberry ring,
My brother is covered in gravy, Thanksgiving's a wonderful thing.

Refrain

My grandfather's favorite is pickles, that grandma preserved in the spring,
My sister has two plates of turnips, Thanksgiving's a wonderful thing.

Refrain

And if you should happen to ask me, what gives me a zip and a zing,
For me it's a pie made of pumpkin, Thanksgiving's a wonderful thing.

Refrain.

Thank You, Lord

For flowers and squirrels and birds that have wings.
For lions and tigers and all living things.
For mountains and rivers, for water and air.
For Mom and Dad who show me they care.
Food on my table, and something to drink.
For yellow, orange, purple and pink.
You love and watch over us day after day.
That's why we've decided we want to say.
Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord.

The Big Turkey

The big turkey on the farm is so very proud.
He spreads his tail like a fan
And struts through the animal crowd.
If you talk to him as he wobbles along;
He'll answer back with a gobbling song.
"Gobble, gobble, gobble!"

This Turkey Gobbler

This turkey gobbler spreads his tail.
It looks like a fan and it helps him sail.
This turkey gobbler chases a cat.
He runs so fast that he falls down flat.
This turkey gobbler with wattles of red
Chases a puppy, but can't get ahead.
This turkey gobbler makes a strange noise:
Gobble, gobble, gobble at the girls and boys.
This turkey gobbler just loves to chase.
He will not hurt me for he likes the race!
All turkey gobblers have angry looks,
For they are afraid of the ovens and cooks!

Turkey Time

"Gobble, gobble, gee,"
Said the big fat turkey.
"Gobble, gobble, gee,
You can't catch me."
I love turkey for my dinner.
I love turkey on Thanksgiving Day.

Turkey Walk

Old turkey gobbler walks very proudly;
Gobble, gobble, gobble; strut, strut, strut!
When he walks, he gobbles very loudly;
Gobble, gobble, gobble; strut, strut, strut!
Hold your head proudly, if you please,
Gobble, gobble, gobble; strut, strut, strut!
Walk very stiff-legged, don't bend your knees.
Gobble, gobble, gobble; strut, strut, strut!
