Simple Turkey Songs

Five Fat Turkeys
Five fat turkeys are we.
We spent all night in a tree.
When the cook came around,
We were no where to be found
And that's why we're here you see!

If Turkeys Thought
If turkeys thought, they'd run away,
A week before Thanksgiving Day.
But turkeys can't anticipate,
And so there's turkey on my plate!

Did You Ever See a Turkey?
(To the tune of "Did You Ever See a Lassie?")
Did you ever see a turkey,
A turkey, a turkey,
Did you ever see a turkey
Run this way and that?
He runs, and he runs,
But he won't get away.
He is going to be my dinner on Thanksgiving Day!

I'm a Turkey
(To the tune of "Yankee Doodle")

I'm a turkey, big and fat.
I spread my tail.
I walk like that.
Each day's corn I will not miss,
And when I talk, I sound like this:
GOBBLE! GOBBLE! GOBBLE!

The Turkey Song
I'm a little turkey
Short and Fat
Thanksgiving Day is coming
Now what do you think of that?
I had better run as fast as I can
Or your mommy will roast me in a pan!
