Thanksgiving Songs for Children

Thanksgiving Things
(Sung to Farmer in the Dell)

The turkey in the pen, the turkey in the pen,

All the children come and see the turkey in the pen.
The pilgrims on the boat, the pilgrims on the boat,

All the children come and see the pilgrims on the boat.
The Indians in the field, the Indians in the field,

All the children come and see the Indians in the field.
The pumpkins in the patch, the pumpkins in the patch,

All the children come and see, the pumpkins in the patch.
The corn on the cob, the corn on the cob,

All the children come and see, the corn on the cob.
The butter in the churn, the butter in the churn,

All the children come and see, the butter in the churn.

(From Preschool Ed.)

Thanksgiving Songs for Children

Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the river and thru the woods,

To grandfather's house we go;

The horse knows the way

To carry the sleigh,

Thru the white and drifted snow, oh!

Over the river and thru the woods,

Oh, how the wind does blow!

It stings the toes,

And bites the nose,

As over the ground we go.

Over the river and thru the woods,

To have a first-rate play;

Oh, hear the bell ring,

"Ting-a-ling-ling!"

Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day-ay!

Over the river and thru the woods,

Trot fast my dapple gray!

Spring over the ground,

Like a hunting hound!

For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Did You Ever See a Turkey?

(Video from Cullen's ABC's)

For this song make 4 feathers out of construction paper:

Feather 1: Red

Lyrics:

Did you ever see a turkey,

A turkey, a turkey,

As he struts around the farm yard,

With feathers so bright.

With red ones,

And orange ones,

And yellow ones,

And brown ones,

Did you ever see a turkey,

With feathers so bright.

Halloween Songs for Children

Shivery Yells

(Sung to Silver Bells)

We're on the sidewalks, we're on the porches,

Dressed in costumes to scare.
Through the city we're ringing doorbells

Trick or treating, eating candy,
Gooey stuff in our hair,
But the most fun is shrieking out loud:

Shivery Yells, Shivery Yells
That's Halloween nitty-gritty
Moan and groan, leave us alone,
Halloween's just one night a year.

Deck the Patch

(Sung to Deck the Halls)

Deck the patch with orange and black,

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Take along your goody sack,

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Don we now our weird apparel,

Fa la la la la, la la la la

To the ancient pumpkin carol,

Fa la la la la, la la la la

See the great ones rise before us,

Fa la la la la, la la la la

As we sing the pumpkin chorus,

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Follow him as he ascends,

Fa la la la la la, la la la

Join with true great pumpkin friends,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

The Addams Family

They're creepy and they're kooky,

Mysterious and spooky,

They're all together ooky,

The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum

Where people come to see 'em

They really are a scream

The Addams Family.

(Neat)

(Sweet)

(Petite)

So get a witches shawl on

A broomstick you can crawl on

We're gonna pay a call on

The Addams Family.

In the Graveyard

(These words are sung to Oh My Darling.)

In the grave yard,

In the grave yard,

When the moon begins to shine,

There's a doctor,

crazy doctor,

And his monster Frankenstein.

Oh, my monster,

Oh, my monster,

Oh, my monster Frankenstein,

You are very, very scary,

Don't come near me Frankenstein.

(Words from DLTK)
