For soon it will be Thanksgiving Day

The rapid approach of Thanksgiving means that one of my all time favorite preschool songs is being sung by my two favorite preschoolers. All the freaking time. But yet, I still love the song, and a friend even caught me singing it in the middle of the grocery store the other day. "What song?" those of you without small children might ask. "I didn't KNOW there were Thanksgiving songs!" Trust me, there are songs for every holiday known to man. I am just waiting until C comes home with one for Administrative Assistant day.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the words to my favorite Thanksgiving song, as best I can tell anyway.

Five little turkeys playing by the door. One ran away and then there were four.
Run turkey run turkey, run far away as soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!

Four little turkeys sitting by a tree. One ran away and then there were three.
Run turkey run turkey, run far away as soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!

Three little turkeys playing skip-to-my-lou. One ran away and then there were two.
Run turkey run turkey, run far away as soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!

Two little turkeys resting in the sun. One ran away and then there was one.
Run turkey run turkey, run far away as soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!

One little turkey, not having any fun. He ran away and then there were none.
Run turkey run turkey, run far away as soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!
