Aren’t you glad you’re not a turkey?
I love Debbie Friedman, and I love most of her music.
But I hate that Thanksgiving song… you know… hooray, hooray, hooray…. Aren’t you glad you’re not a turkey on this Thanksgiving day?
And, seeing as my computer lab is right next to the music room, you know what I’m listening to all day right now?
All day.

Here’s what an Internet search came up with:
Happy Thanksgiving by Debbie Friedman
Chorus:
Happy Thanksgiving
Hooray hooray hooray
Aren’t you glad you’re not a turkey
On this Thanksgiving Day?
(x2)
Indians and Pilgrims celebrated on this feast
This very special holiday first started in the East
Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower thats how it all began
Feel free to join me in the chorus if you can
Chorus
Apple pie and pumpkin pie and lots of things to eat
Roasted turkey filled with stuffing, a very special treat
Don’t forget the indigestion on this holiday
Better take some Rolaids so the pain will go away!
Chorus x2
