I am an American Turkey,
Of Red, White and Blue.
My gobble is very happy,
And I am so thankful too.
Because I am an American
There is something I have to say.
Have chicken instead of me,
On your Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving at Plymouth
One hundred two passengers on the ship,
Sixty-five days was a very long trip.
‘Twas November 11 when there was a shout.
“Land ho! We’ve made it!” a voice yelled out.
Their very first winter was cold and was gray.
The Pilgrims worked hard in the new land each
day.
People got sick and some even died.
Still others continued to work side by side.
To the Pilgrims, Squanto was a teacher and
friend.
He helped them from sunrise until each day’s
end.
He told them to plant corn in rows long and
narrow.
He taught them to hunt with a bow and an
arrow.
When the leaves once again turned gold in the
fall,
Enough food for the winter was stored up for
all.
The Pilgrims felt joy they wanted to share.
They wanted their Indian friends to be there.
There were tables piled high with fish and with
meat.
Vegetables, fruits, and good things to eat.
The Pilgrims gave thanks for all that they
had.
Pilgrims and Indians together were glad.
