Action Rhyme: Five Fat Turkeys
5
fat turkeys out for a walk
Gobble,
Gobble, Gobble
That’s how
they talk
So 5 fat
turkeys took a walk through the woods
Gobble,
Gobble, Gobble
Is what they
say
And 1 fat
turkey trotted away
4 fat
turkeys…flew away, 3 fat turkeys…waddled away,
2 fat
turkeys…hopped away, 1 fat turkey…sneaked away
So the 5 fat
turkeys knew what to do
Off to the
woods and away they flew
When the
farmer came looking in the woods that day
He couldn’t
find the turkeys for Thanksgiving Day
