\nHello, Mr. Turkey

\nHello Mr. Turkey, how are you?
\nWith a gobble, gobble, gobble
\nand a wobble, wobble, wobble
\nHello Mr. Turkey how are you?<\/p>\n
\nTen fat turkeys standing in a row
\n(hold up ten fingers)
\nThey spread their feathers and tails like so
\n(spread fingers)
\nThey strut to the left
\nThey strut to the right
\n(move fingers left and right)
\nThey Gobble, gobble, gobble

\nAll he know is just one word,
\nGobble, Gobble, Gobble.<\/p>\n
\nYou put your wing in
\nYou put your wing out

\nThat\u2019s what it\u2019s all about!<\/p>\n
\nYou put your other wing out
\nYou put your other wing in
\nAnd you flap it all about
\nYou do the Turkey Jurkey and you turn yourself around
\nThat\u2019s what it\u2019s all about!<\/p>\n
\nYou put your beak out
\nYou put your beak in
\nAnd you shake it all about
\nYou do the Turkey Jurkey and you turn yourself around
\nThat\u2019s what it\u2019s all about!<\/p>\n
\nYou put your tail feathers out
\nYou put your tail feathers in
\nAnd you shake them all about
\nYou do the Turkey Jurkey and you turn yourself around
\nThat\u2019s what it\u2019s all about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
