Mr. Turkey Oh, so fat! I’m going to eat you. Just like that!

Over the river and through the woods To grandma’s house we go! The horse knows the way To carry the sleigh Through the white and drifted snow oh! Over the river and through the woods, Oh how the wind does blow It stings the toes and bites the nose As over the river we go!

Over the river and through the woods, Soon grandma’s cap I spy! Hooray for the fun! Is the pudding done? Hooray for the pumpkin pie!

The turkey ran away, before Thanksgiving day, He said, “They’ll make a roast out of me if I should stay!” The cranberries ran away before Thanksgiving day, They said, “They’ll make a sauce out of me if I should stay!” The pumpkin ran away before Thanksgiving day, He said, “They’ll make a pie out of me if I should stay!” The children ran away before Thanksgiving day, They said, “They’ll make us clean all day if we should stay!” The teacher ran away, before Thanksgiving day, She said, “They’ll make me Cook all day if I should stay!”

Five fat turkeys are we! We slept all night in a tree! When the cook came around We couldn’t be found And that’s why we’re here you see!

Thankful I’m thankful for the turkey, I’m thankful for the pie. I’m thankful for the corn and bread, And squash, I’m going to try. I’m thankful for the toys I have, The sun I feel and see, And always for my family Who gather here with me!

As I was a-goin' On down the road With a tired team And a heavy load I cracked my whip And the leader sprung I says 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 tuck a-haw And hit '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 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 tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw I came to the river And I couldn't get across So I paid five dollars For a big bay hoss Well, he wouldn't go ahead And he wouldn't stand still So he went up and down Like an old saw mill 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 tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw Did you ever go fishin' On a warm summer day When all the fish Were swimmin' in the bay With their hands in their pockets And their pockets in their pants Did you ever see a fishie Do the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance? 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 tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw
