Turkeys

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!

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!

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!"

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.

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!
