Five Little Turkeys
5 little turkeys by the barn door
1 waddled off, then there were 4.
4 little turkeys out under the tree
1 waddled off, then there were 3.
3 little turkeys with nothing to do
1 waddled off, then there were 2.
2 little turkeys in the noonday sun
1 waddled off, then there was 1.
1 little turkey--better run away!
Soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!
Five Fat Turkeys
Two fat turkeys standing in a row (hold up two fingers)
They spread their feathers (spread out arms) and their tails like so (wiggle bottom)
They strut to the left (move to the left)
They strut to the right (move to the right)
They say "Gobble, gobble!"
In the bright sunlight! (arms high and move down)
Continue counting up to five
Thanksgiving Dinner
(Sung to "Frere Jacques")
We eat turkey, we eat turkey.
Oh, so good. Oh, so good.
Always on Thanksgiving, always on Thanksgiving
Yum-yum-yum! Yum,-yum-yum!
Other verses:
Mashed potatoes
Homemade biscuits
Turkey dressing
Pumpkin Pie
You can also ask children what they like to eat on Thanksgiving and sing about that. Be warned: You may be singing about cheeseburgers and spaghetti!
