When I was about 15 my youngest brother came home from Eisenhower Elementary one November day singing a song he had learned about Thanksgiving. Since Thanksgiving is next week, I thought I’d share it with you!

Ohhhhhhh, the turkey sat on the backyard fence
and he sang a sad, sad song,
Thanksgiving day is coming, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble
and I know I’ll soon be gone.

Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble
I would like to runaway,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble
I DON’T LIKE THANKSGIVING DAY!!!

Before!

After. Stinks to be a turkey! Interesting song to be teaching a bunch of kindergarteners! Wonder how many skipped the turkey that year??? Obviously I was somewhat traumatized as that song has stayed with me for about 20 years. (if you start adding and trying to figure out how old I am you will automatically be turned in to a turkey, haha!)
