Five Nervous Turkeys:

Five turkeys were getting quite nervous. 

Thanksgiving Day would soon be back.

So one turkey put on a duck suit,

And now he says "Gobble, Quack, Quack!"

Count down...4, 3, 2, 1

Hello, Mr. Turkey (Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It")

Hello, Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)

Hello, Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)

With a gobble, gobble, gobble (hand under chin, wiggle fingers)

And a wobble, wobble, wobble (move body from side to side)

Hello, Mr. Turkey, how are you? (clap, clap)
