Did you ever go a-fishin' on a hot summer day,
And you walked on a log, and the log gave away?
With your hands in your pockets and your pockets in your pants,
You watch the little fishies do the Hootchie-Kootchie Dance.
Turkey in the straw (haw, haw, haw!)
Turkey in the sea (hee, hee, hee!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
Turkey in the hay (hay, hay, hay!)
Turkey in the sky (hi, hi, hi!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
Well I had me a chicken and she wouldn't lay an egg,
So I poured hot water up and down her leg.
The little chicken cried, the little chicked begged,
The little chicken laid me a hard-boiled egg!
Turkey in the straw (haw, haw, haw!)
Turkey in the sea (hee, hee, hee!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
Turkey in the hay (hay, hay, hay!)
Turkey in the sky (hi, hi, hi!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
One day I went a-hunting for a fat bullfrog
And I found one a-sittin' on a bumpy log
I yelled, "Here's a froggy!" but the frog said, "Nay,
I'm just a green birdie with my feathers washed away."
Turkey in the straw (haw, haw, haw!)
Turkey in the sea (hee, hee, hee!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
Turkey in the zoo (hoo, hoo, hoo!)
Turkey in the sky (hi, hi, hi!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
Well I went to Cincinnati and I walked around a block
And I walked right into a doughnut shop.
Well I pulled me a doughnut out of the grease.
I gave that lady a five cent piece.
Well she looked at the nickel and she looked at me.
She said, "This nickel's no good to me,
There's a hole in the middle and it goes clear through."
I said, "There's a hole in your doughnut too."
Turkey in the straw (haw, haw, haw!)
Turkey in the sea (hee, hee, hee!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
Turkey in the hay (hay, hay, hay!)
Turkey in the zoo (hoo, hoo, hoo!)
Bullfrog dance with his mother-in-law,
And they all sang a tune called Turkey In the Straw.
Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie 'em in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you throw 'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier
Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro?
