Thanksgiving Day Song

- sing to the tune of “Here We Go Round the mulberry Bush”

This is the day for giving thanks,
Giving thanks, giving thanks.
This is the day for giving thanks,
Celebrate Thanksgiving!
This is the day for thanking those
Who give us food and give us clothes.
This is the day a “thank you” goes
To family on Thanksgiving!
This is the day for thanking friends,
On friendship, everyone depends.
This is the day our thanks extend
To friends on Thanksgiving!
This is the day the Pilgrims ate,
And with the Indians shared their plate.
This is the day we commemorate
The very first Thanksgiving!
This is the day to be sincere,
Giving thanks that we are here.
In November every year
We celebrate Thanksgiving!
