Thanksgiving Songs Gobble Gobble Gobble I met a turkey gobbler When I went out to play.
How are you today? Gobble, gobble, gobble,
Don't ask me such a question
Five little turkeys were standing by a door; one saw some corn, and then there were four. Four little turkeys flew up in a tree; one fell down and then there were three.
Mr Turkey Gobbler
That I can not say.
Five Little Turkeys
Three little turkeys gobbled as they do; a dog chased one and then there were two. Two little turkeys strutting in the sun; the wind came along and then there was one. One little turkey saw a farmer with an ax; look at that turkey run! run! run!
On Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Songs Turkey Jurky To The Song: "Hokey Pokey"
Over the Freeway Over the freeways and thru the burbs
You put your right wing in
To Grandmother's house we go
You put your right wing out
My dad drives the car because it is too far
You put your right wing in and you shake it all about
To walk from our condo oh!
You do the Turkey Jurky and you turn yourself around
Up through the doorway and in the house
That's what it's all about!
The big screen TV I spy! For it's a football game.. and more of the same After we finish our pie.

Thanksgiving Songs Turkey in the Straw As I was a-gwine down the road, Tired team and a heavy load, Crack my whip and the leader sprung, l seys day-day to the wagon tongue. Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay, Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay Roll 'em up and twist 'em up a high tuckahaw And twist 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw. Went out to milk, and I didn't know how, I milked the goat instead of the cow. A monkey sittin' on a pile of straw, A-winkin' at his mother-in-law. Met Mr. Catfish comin' down stream. Says Mr. Catfish, "What does you mean?" Caught Mr. Catfish by the snout, And turned Mr. Catfish wrong side out. Came to a river and I couldn't get across, Paid five dollars for a blind old hoss; Wouldn't go ahead, nor he wouldn't stand still, So he went up and down like an old saw mill. As I came down the new cut road, Met Mr. Bullfrog, met Miss Toad And every time Miss Toad would sing, Old Bullfrog cut a pigeon wing. Oh I jumped in the seat and I gave a little yell The horses ran away, broke the wagon all to hell Sugar in the gourd and honey in the horn I never been so happy since the day I was born.
