A Turkey Sat on the Backyard Fence

A Turkey sat on the backyard fence
and he sang a sad sad tune.

Thanksgiving Day is coming 
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble
and I know I'll be eaten soooon,

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble
I don't like Thanksgiving Day-ay-ay.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble
I think I'll run away-ay-ay.


Thanks so much to Dr. Howard E. Martin Jr. for sharing his rendition.

We struggled for a long time looking for the tune for this song and now we even have a performance!!
  
 
 

Thanks to Pat for sharing these lyrics with us!

"A turkey sat on the backyard fence" is to the tune of the children's church song "Zacheus" (as in--"oh, Zacheus was a wee little man, and a wee little man was he....")  Thanks to a viewer for sharing this info!!
