From all of us at The Daily Heller to all of you. Happy Bird Day.
As I was a-goin’On down the roadWith a tired teamAnd a heavy loadI cracked my whipAnd the leader sprungI says day-dayTo the wagon tongue
Turkey in the strawTurkey in the hayTurkey in the strawTurkey in the hayRoll ’em up and twist ’em upA high tuck a-hawAnd hit ’em up a tune calledTurkey in the Straw
Went out to milkAnd I didn’t know howI milked the goatInstead of the cowA monkey sittin’On a pile of strawA winkin’ atHis mother-in-law
Turkey in the strawTurkey in the hayTurkey in the strawTurkey in the hayRoll ’em up and twist ’em upA high tuck a-hawAnd hit ’em up a tune calledTurkey in the Straw
I came to the riverAnd I couldn’t get acrossSo I paid five dollarsFor a big bay hossWell, he wouldn’t go aheadAnd he wouldn’t stand stillSo he went up and downLike an old saw mill
Turkey in the strawTurkey in the hayTurkey in the strawTurkey in the hayRoll ’em up and twist ’em upA high tuck a-hawAnd hit ’em up a tune calledTurkey in the Straw
Did you ever go fishin’On a warm summer dayWhen all the fishWere swimmin’ in the bayWith their hands in their pocketsAnd their pockets in their pantsDid you ever see a fishieDo the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance?
