Five Little Turkeys
5 little turkeys by the barn door,
1 waddled off, then there were 4.

4 little turkeys out under the tree,
3 little turkeys with nothing to do...
2 little turkeys in the noonday sun...

1 little turkey--better run away!
Soon will come Thanksgiving Day.

We eat turkey, we eat turkey
Oh, so good, oh, so good.
Always on Thanksgiving, always on Thanksgiving
Yum-yum-yum!  Yum-yum-yum!
