LYRICS:
Last Thanksgiving day,
My mom and dad did say,
Go and count our turkeys quick,
We’ll eat one today
I went out to the tree,
Some turkeys looked at me,
My friends, the turkeys, yes indeed,
How many turkeys did I see?
Turkey –turkey- turkey
peek a boo
Turkey-turkey-turkey
I see you
How many turkeys up in the tree,
How many turkeys can you see?
How many turkeys up in the tree,
How many turkeys did you see?
I told 4 turkeys to run away
So they wouldn’t be dinner on Thanksgiving day!

I’d saved their lives at least,
Thanksgiving now had different food,
Like pizza for our feast!
