We Sang...

Song- Thanksgiving Day(To the Tune of: Mulberry Bush)
This is the day for giving thanks, Giving thanks, giving thanks.
This is the day for giving thanks,Celebrate Thanksgiving!

This is the day for thanking those Who give us food and give us clothes.
This is the day a "thank you" goes To family on Thanksgiving!

This is the day for thanking friends,On friendship, everyone depends.
This is the day our thanks extend To friends on Thanksgiving!

This is the day the Pilgrims ate,And with the Indians shared their plate.
This is the day we commemorate The very first Thanksgiving!

This is the day to be sincere,Giving thanks that we are here.
In November every year We celebrate Thanksgiving!


Song- Albuquerque turkey(To the Tune of: Clementine) With a visit from Albuquerque himself!
Albuquerque, he's my turkey, and he's feathered and
he's fine and he wobbles and he gobbles and
I'm awfully glad he's mine.
He's the best pet you could ever get
Better than a dog or cat Albuquerque,
he's my turkey And I'm awfully glad of that.
Albuquerque, he's my turkey he's so cozy in his bed
Because for our Thanksgiving dinner We had scrambled eggs instead!




We Danced...Turkey Dance (AKA Chicken Dance)
