If You’re Happy it’s Thanksgiving To the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It,”

adapted by Lisa Baydush

If you’re happy it’s Thanksgiving, shout hooray! (2x)

It’s a family holiday, we cook and eat and play,

If you’re happy it’s Thanksgiving, shout hooray!

If you’re thankful on Thanksgiving, give a hug! (2x)

We give thanks for moms & dads, and everything we have…

If you’re hungry on Thanksgiving, rub your tummy! (2x)

There’s lots and lots to eat, get a plate and take a seat…

If you’re tired on Thanksgiving,

take a nap! (2x)

After lots and lots of eatin’,

it’s nice to do some sleepin’…

And that’s that!

Thanksgiving Day With a wobble, wobble, wobble

and a gobble, gobble, gobble

All the turkeys spread their feathers

on Thanksgiving Day;

When they see the farmer coming,

all the turkeys start a-running!

And they say, “You cannot catch us

on Thanksgiving Day!
