The pumpkin ran away (clap, clap)

Before Thanksgiving Day (clap, clap)

Said he, "They'll make a pie out of me

If I should stay (clap, clap)

Five fat turkeys are we,

We sat all night in a tree.

When Thanksgiving came around

We couldn't be found,

'Cause we're up here you see!

Here's a pumpkin for the pie,

Two apples red to bake,

A turkey for the roasting pan,

I can hardly wait!

The turkeys in the oven. You can bet that I am loving all the good things that are cooking and are looking so fine.

The relatives are everywhere - in the kitchen, in the chairs -
with their noses in the air, they’re waiting for the sign.

The T.V. is a blaring, lots of guys are sitting, staring,wanting football to begin and the marching bands to go away.

The ladies mostly hustle in the thick of all the bustle,and the kids are being cool Thanksgiving Day.

Yum, yum. Put it in my tummy, 
 Say yum, yum. I’m a turkey gourmet.

Yum, yum. Put it in my tummy,
Say yum, yum. Thanksgiving Day.

The turkey’s on the table, now we’re willing and we’re able to begin this awesome feast that’s going to satisfy.

Pass the mashed potatoes, pass the gravy, pass the dressing; heap it on but leave some room for that delicious pumpkin pie.

Everyone is moaning, they are groaning, they are crying‘cause they didn’t have the will to push their plates away.

Now they’re all asleep around the room all in a heap,except the kids- they’re being cool. Thanksgiving Day.

Yum, yum. Put it in my tummy, 
 Say yum, yum. I’m a turkey gourmet.

Yum, yum. Put it in my tummy,
Say yum, yum. Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river and through the woods

To Grandmother's house we go

The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh

Through the white and drifted snow!

Over the river and through the woods

Oh, how the wind does blow!

It stings the toes and bites the nose

As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the woods

Trot fast my dappled gray

Spring over the ground like a hunting hound

For this is Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood

Now Grandmother's face I spy

Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done?

Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

Over the River
