Thanksgiving Song Lyrics and Rhymes for Kids

Run From The Farmer

Oh it’s one gobble,
Two gobbles,
Three gobbles, four.

We will run from the farmer
for there’s no time to snore.

‘Round and round we go,
All ’round the coup.

Run from the farmer,
do the loop di-de-loop.

To help the pilgrims build a house
A warm and friendly fort

And my teddy bear so furry, soft and fat,
I am thankful for soft kittens
and my nice warm woolen mittens
And my swing set and my baseball and my bat

I am thankful for my crayons and my books
And the way our brand new baby smiles and looks,
I am thankful for potatoes
and for juicy ripe tomatoes
And for all the tasty food that mommy cooks.

They both love me whether I am good or bad,
I am thankful for the flowers
and refreshing summer showers,
All the pretty things around me make me glad.

We’ll mix up some corn and bean.

If the corn and beans get smashed,
We’ll make you potatoes mashed.

If potatoes aren’t a blessing,
We’ll stuff you full of turkey dressing.

With that dressing in your tummy,
We’ll all have a feast so yummy.

Six Little Turkeys

Six little turkeys that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones
There were two.
But the one little turkey with the
Funny red wattle.
He led the others with his
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
He led the other with his
Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Over the rocks and through the tress,
Turkeys wobbling in the breeze,
But the one little turkey with the
Funny red wattle,
He led the others with his
Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Thanksgiving Things

All the children come and see,
The pumpkins in the patch.

Little turkeys walking by,
They can move from side to side
With a wobble here and a wobble there.

With a gobble here and a gobble there,
They can gobble everywhere

What do you think of that?

See my head look all around,
Look all around, all around,

Thanksgiving is a Wonderful Thing

Tune: “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean”

My uncle is eating the drumstick,
My auntie is chewing the wing,
My cousin in nibbling the stuffing,
Thanksgiving is a wonderful thing.

Chorus:
Bring back, bring back
Please bring anything left to bring
Bring back, bring back
Thanksgiving is a wonderful thing.

My daddy loves candied potatoes,
My mother, the cranberry ring,
My brother is covered with gravy,
Thanksgiving’s a wonderful thing.

The Pilgrims Came

Tune: “Yankee Doodle”

The pilgrims came across the sea,
And never thought of you and me
And yet, it’s very strange the way
We think of them on Thanksgiving Day.

We tell their story old and true,
Of how they sailed across the blue.
And found a new land to be free,
And built their homes quite near the sea.

Every child knows well the tale
Of how they bravely turned the sail,
And journeyed many a day and night
To worship God as they thought right.

Gobble, Gobble, Giggle

I’m a little turkey here to say.
Try some beef on Thanksgiving Day.
Turkey is tough, and turkey is dry.
You really should give chicken a try!
Or how ’bout a plate of veggie delight
for a Thanksgiving dinner that tastes just right?

Mr. Turkey

Tune: “Shortnin bread”

I am Mr. Turkey, Turkey, Turkey.
I am Mr. Turkey, big and fat.
On my tail are feathers, feathers, feather.
On my tail are feather-what d’ya think of that?
When I walk, I wobble, wobble wobble.
And when I talk I gobble-gobble, gobble, gobble!

Turkey on the Farm

The turkey on the farm says, “Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Gobble, gobble, gobble. Gobble, gobble, gobble.”
The turkey on the farm says, “Gobble, gobble, gobble.”

The farmer on the farm goes chop, chop, chop.
Chop, chop, chop. Chop, chop, chop.
The farmer on the farm goes chop, chop, chop.
Thanksgiving Day is here.

The turkey on the farm says, “Please help me!
Please help me! Please help me!”
The turkey on the farm says, “Please help me!”
Thanksgiving Day is here.

The children on the farm say, “Come and hide.
Come and hide. Come and hide.”
The children on the farm say, “Come and hide.”
Thanksgiving Day is here.

The wife on the farm looks all around.
Looks all around. Looks all around.
The wife on the farm looks all around.
Thanksgiving Day is here.

Turkey on the Loose

Gobble, gobble, gobble! (Flap elbows up and down like wings)
What’s all the fuss?  (Hands up as if asking a question)
Clever Mr. Turkey is hiding from us! (Hands cover eyes)
Let’s look all around. (Hand over brow, shading eyes)
Don’t let him get away! (Shake index finger)

Ten Little Indians (Version 2)

1 little, 2 little 3 little Indians,
4 little, 5 little, 6 little Indians,
7 little, 8 little 9 little Indians,
10 little Indian boys and girls.

They jumped in a boat and the boat flipped over,
They jumped in a boat and the boat flipped over,
They jumped in a boat and the boat flipped over,
10 little Indian boys and girls.

They swam and they swam and they swam to their mother,
They swam and they swam and they swam to their mother,
They swam and they swam and they swam to their mother,
10 little Indian boys and girls.

She hugged them, kissed them, and sent them to bed,
She hugged them, kissed them, and sent them to bed,
She hugged them, kissed them, and sent them to bed,
10 little Indian boys and girls.

Little Pilgrim

The children hold up one finger for each time a pilgrim is added. Begin with a closed fist.

Pilgrim, pilgrim, run and play,
Where do you want to play today?

The first little pilgrim slides down the slide,
He just wants to play outside.

The second little pilgrim reads books all day,
she finds a quiet place to stay.

The third little pilgrim climbs in a tree,
she thinks it’s a neat place to be.

The fourth little pilgrim plays hide and seek,
and he soon learns that he mustn’t peek.

The fifth little pilgrim just plays with his friends,
they laugh and play until the day ends.

Five Pilgrims, Five Indians

Five Pilgrims fish in the morn. (Pretend to fish)
Five Indians help them plant corn. (Pretend to plant)
The Indians bring the corn (Hold up right hand)
The Pilgrims bring the meat. (Hold up left hand)
Ten new friends sit down to eat. (Fold hands)

Five Little Turkeys

Five little turkeys
Went outside to play.
Mother said, “Be careful!
It’s Thanksgiving Day!”The first little turkey
Didn’t even see
The Indian who was hiding
Behind the maple tree.

The second little turkey
Decided she’d better scoot
When she heard the sound
Of the little pilgrim’s boots.

The third little turkey
Went to climb a tree.
He climbed too high
And fell and skinned his knee.

The fourth little turkey
Didn’t have a care.
She went running in the woods
And saw a pilgrim there.

The fifth little turkey
Was left all alone.
He started to cry
And ran all the way home.
