Dancing to the Turkey Two Step

Dancing to the Turkey Two Step was a fun holiday song to write.  It captures nice memories for me.

 

Dancin' to the Turkey Two-Step
by Vicky Oldham © 2018

4/4 beat, key of Gmaj

[CHORUS]

Dancin' the turkey two-step,
Swingin' to the 4/4 beat,
Dancin' the turkey two-step,
Everybody move your feet!

Dancin' the turkey two-step,
Thanksgiving Day,
Dancin' the turkey two-step,
Dancin' the night away!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[VERSE 1]
Over the river and,
Riding through the wood,
To Thanksgiving dinner,
In our neighborhood,

It's snowin' and a blowin',
Around the countryside,
But turkey's in the oven,
and it's warm inside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[CHORUS Repeat]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[VERSE 2]
Table's all settin'
and everybody's here,
Game is on TV, and
The fridg' is full of cheer.

Sittin' down together, and
We're comin' back for more,
Then it's dancin' to the turkey two step,
Goin' out the door!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[CHORUS Repeat]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[VERSE 3]
Thank you for the blessings,
And for the ones we love,
Thank you for the goodness,
Shining from above.

When we're all together,
On Thanksgiving Day,
Time to swing your partner,
An' dance the night away!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[CHORUS Repeat]
