| The picture of this little turkey in Barnyard Dance! by Sandra Boynton inspired me to write this song. Barnyard Dance! is my young grandson's favorite book. I recommend this board book highly for the tiny folks. Read it to them with gusto!!! Grandpa Tucker |
Little Turkey in the Straw |
![]() |
|
Oh, there was a little turkey Who strutted through the straw. He lived in the barn With his maw and paw. But every November, He thought it was a pity, They sent him to visit His cousins in the city. "Gobble, gobble, gobble," He cried all day. He did not want to go away. His folks said, "Go! Before time's wasted Or you'll spend Thanks- Giving day being basted!" |
And so the little turkey Went off to see the town. A little bit unhappy With his tail feathers down. His cousins took him Trotting to their Pizza Hut-- And now that little turkey Is a pizza nut. Gobble, Gobble, Gobble He eats, then sighs, And orders up more pizza pies. He tells his cousins, "Hey! This is living. It's the way all turkeys should spend Thanksgiving." Grandpa Tucker |
