"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!!
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.
and some people add...
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!!
