Thanksgiving Day Songs

I found these too late to use for my storytime this year, but hopefully I'll remember them in time to use them next year!  Here are some fun songs for Thanksgiving that you can use in storytime or to just sing to your child:

Albuquerque Turkey

(to the tune of Clementine)

Albuquerque, he's my turkey

And he's feathered and he's fine

And he wobbles and he gobbles

And I'm awfully glad he's mine.

He's the best pet you could ever get

Better than a cat or dog

Albuquerque, he's my turkey

And I'm awfully glad of that.

Albuquerque, he's my turkey

He's so cozy in his bed

'Cuz for our Thanksgiving dinner

We had scrambled eggs instead!

I'm a Little Turkey

(to the tune of I'm a Little Teapot)

 

I'm a little turkey,

My name is Ted.

Here are my feathers,

Here is my head.

Gobble, gobble, gobble

Is what I say,

Quick! Run!  It's Thanksgiving Day!

Thanksgiving Dinner

(to the tune of Frere Jacques)

Turkey dinner, turkey dinner

Gather 'round, gather 'round

Who will get the drumstick?

Yummy yummy drumstick,

All sit down, all sit down.

Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffing,

Puddin' pie, one foot high,

All of us were thinner,

Until we came to dinner,

Me oh my! Me oh my!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
