Five Little Turkeys

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

Four little turkeys out under the 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 it will be Thanksgiving Day.

Gobble
(Tune: If You're Happy...)

"Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble", says the turkey.

"Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble", says the turkey.

Mr. Turkey gobble-gobbles,

And his head goes wobble-wobble.

"Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble", says the turkey.
