Turkey Dinner Song
(Sung to the tune of “Are You Sleeping”)
Turkey Dinner, turkey dinner,
Gather round, gather round,
Who will get the drumstick?
Yummy, yummy drumstick,
All sit down, all sit down.
Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffing,
Pudding pie, one foot high,
All of us were thinner
Until we came to dinner,
Me, oh, my! Me, oh, my!
French Translation:
Chanson du dîner à la dinde
(Sur l’air de «Are You Sleeping»)
Dîner à la dinde, dîner à la dinde,
Rassemblez-vous, rassemblez-vous,
Qui aura le pilon ?
Délicieux, délicieux pilon,
Tous s’assoient, tous s’assoient.
Muffins au pain de maïs, farce aux marrons,
Tarte au pudding, un pied de haut,
Nous étions tous plus minces
Jusqu’à ce que nous venons dîner,
Moi, oh, là là ! Moi, oh, là là !
