Thanksgiving Poems and Songs to Celebrate Turkey Day

Turkey Wore His Red FeatherΒ (Sung to the tune of “Mary Wore Her Red Dress”)

Turkey wore his red feather, red feather, red feather.
Turkey wore his red feather, all day long!

Turkey wore his orange feather, orange feather, orange feather.
Turkey wore his orange feather, all day long.

Repeat the song using all of the colors of the rainbow then sing…

Turkey wore his rainbow feathers, rainbow feathers, rainbow feathers. Turkey wore his rainbow feathers, all Thanksgiving long!

 

Mr. Turkey (Sung to the tune of “Are You Sleeping?”)

Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey,
Run away, run away,
If you aren’t careful,
You will be a mouthful,
On Thanksgiving Day,
On Thanksgiving Day!

Thank You Song (Sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)

Thank you for the sun so bright
Thank you for the moon at night
Thank you for my family
Thanks for friends who play with me
Thanks for everything I see
I am thankful, yes sirree!

Turkey Pokey (Sung to the tune of “Hokey Pokey”)

You put your right wing in

You put your right wing out

You put your right in

And you shake it all about

You do the Turkey Pokey

And you turn yourself around

That’s what its all about – “Gobble, Gobble!”

You put your left wing…

You put your tail feathers…

You put your left foot

You put your right foot…

You put your beak in…

You put your whole turkey self…
