“Turkey in the Straw” Lyrics

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

Here’s another traditional song for Thanksgiving…

Turkey in the Straw

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
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
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
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
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
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
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
(Whistle)
Turkey in the straw
(Whistle)
Roll ‘em up and twist ‘em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit ‘em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw

Another Five Little Turkeys Finger Play Rhyme

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

Here’s another poem for Thanksgiving…

Five Little Turkeys

Five little turkeys standing in a row. (Hold up 5 fingers)
First little turkey said, “I don’t want to grow.” (Hold up 1 finger)
Second little turkey said, “Why do you say that?” (Hold up 2 fingers)
Third little turkey said, “I want to get fat.” (Hold up 3 fingers)
Fourth little turkey said, “Thanksgiving is near.” (Hold up 4 fingers)
Fifth little turkey said, “Yes, that’s what I hear.” (Hold up 5 fingers)
Then the five little turkeys that were standing in a row,
All said together, “Come on, let’s go!” (Move fingers like they’re running away)

Five Little Turkeys Rhyme

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

It’s November and that means Turkeys! Here’s a favorite Thanksgiving song…

Five Little Turkeys

Five little turkeys by the barn door,
One waddled off, then there were four.

Four little turkeys under a tree,
One waddled off, then there were three.

Three little turkeys with nothing to do,
One waddled off, then there were two.

Two little turkeys in the noonday sun,
One waddled off, then there was one.

One little turkey – better run away!
Soon will come Thanksgiving Day!
