The turkey is a funny bird,
His head goes wobble, wobble.
All he know is just one word,
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble.
Five fat turkeys short and plump.
The first one hid way high upon a stump.
The second one said, "We should run, run, run"
The third one said, "or we'll be done."
The fourth one said, "I don't want to be dinner."
The fifth one said I wish I were thinner!" Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
Run away, run away.
If you are not careful,
You will be a mouthful,
On Thanksgiving Day,
On Thanksgiving Day.

Hello Mr. Turkey how are you, how are you? (clap twice)

Hello Mr. Turkey how are you how are you?
I have a turkey, big and fat.
He spreads his wings and walks like that. (walk like a penguin or waddle)
His daily corn he would not miss.
And when he talks, he talks like this: "gobble, gobble, gobble." First you take the pumpkin and you pick it,
You pick it, you pick it, pick it, pick it.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

Then you take the pumpkin and you carve it,
You carve it, you carve it, carve it, carve it.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

Next you take the spices and you mix it,
You mix it, you mix it, mix it, mix it.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

You put it in the oven and you wait,
You wait, you wait, you wait, you wait.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

You take it out the oven and you bite it,
You bite it, you bite it, bite it, bite it
And you chew it, you chew it, chew it, chew it, chew it. (Sing like your mouth is full)
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

Mr. Turkey's tail is big and wide (spread fingers wide),
He swings it when he walks (move fingers around),
His neck is long (stand on tip toes and stretch neck and head up),
His chin is red (stroke chin),
And he gobbles when he talks(open and close hands while gobbling)
Mr. turkey sat on the backyard fence while he sang this happy song.
Oh the children are coming to the country gobble, gobble
And I know I'll be happy So-oon, gobble, gobble, gobble
Oh How I love Thanksgiving Day!

The Pilgrims sailed away, far across the sea.
They came to America, so they could be free.
The Native Americans, helped them plant the corn.
