I was just about to send this issue on to our webmaster, but before doing so check my usscouts account.  DAD sent me this fun song with a new tune to try.

I had some fun with this one. while at a red light in Orlando I read the words and could not remember the tune to turkey in the straw. As I read the
tune to rock in robin came to mind. It fit the song so well I used it at RT and wow what a hit!

I had a Little Chicken
Sam Houston Council
(Tune: Turkey in the Straw)
Oh, I had a little chicken, and she wouldn’t lay an egg,
So I poured hot water up and down her leg,
Oh, the little chicken hollered and the little chicken begged,
And then the little chicken laid a hard-boiled egg!

Hurray, It's Thanksgiving Day!
 (When, Johnny Comes Marching Home)

The Pilgrims are coming to celebrate, Hurray! Hurray!
The Pilgrims are coming to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
The Pilgrims are coming, so don't be late,
We'll eat and dance to celebrate.
And we'll all be glad, so hurry and don't be late!

The Indians are coming to celebrate, Hurray! Hurray!

The Indians are coming to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
The Indians are coming, so don't be late.
We'll eat and dance to celebrate.
And we'll all be glad, so hurry and don't be late.

Thanksgiving Day Thanks
 (The Farmer in the Dell)

Thanksgiving Day is here.

Let's give thanks for all we have,
Thanksgiving Day is here.

For all our moms and dads,
For all our families,
Let's give thanks for all we have,
Thanksgiving Day is here.

For all the flowers and trees,
For all the birds and bees,
Let's give thanks for all we have,
Thanksgiving Day is here.

Turkey Song
Tune: My Bonnie

My turkey went walking one morning
The November weather to see
A man with a hatchet approached her
Oh bring back my turkey to me.

Chorus:

Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my turkey to me, to me
Bring back, bring back,
oh bring back my turkey to me.

I went out to dinner and ordered
The best thing they had I could see
They brought it all roasted and sizzling
They brought back my turkey to me.

Chorus

Our Pilgrim Forefathers
(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)

They came as strangers to a wild land, brave and unafraid,
In spite of many hardships they still bowed their heads and prayed,
"We're thankful for the growing crops, the beauty of our land,
And freedom to live as we planned."

Chorus: Our Pilgrim fathers make us proud
They accomplished what they vowed,
We will sing their praises loud,
And freedom marches on.

Squanto was an Indian and he helped the Pilgrims out,

He taught them how to plant their corn and how to fish for
trout,
They hunted in the woods for deer and caught wild turkeys, too,
He was a friend so true.

Chorus

Bradford was the Governor, he was just and fair,
He thought it was important that each man received his share,
He planned the first Thanksgiving holiday to celebrate
A harvest good and great.

Thanksgiving
(tune: Yankee Doodle)
Simon Kenton Council

The Pilgrims came across the sea
From England far away
And now we always think of them
When it's Thanksgiving Day.

The Mayflower was their sailing ship
Across the waves of foam.
They landed here on Plymouth Rock
And this was their new home.

The bitter winter was so hard
That many Pilgrims died.
By spring they had some growing crops
And Indian friends besides.

When harvest came they were so glad
They had learned so many things.
The Indians joined them in a feast
The first Thanksgiving Day.

So many things they had to learn
All along the way,
We thank the Pilgrims everyone
For this Thanksgiving Day.
