There’s a man named Farmer Brown,
He’s got the fattest turkey around.
He’s been feeding that turkey well,
To fatten him up for a Thanksgiving meal.

Mrs. Brown said, "Honey dear,
Let’s eat that big bird this year.
Go and fetch your brand new axe,
Take that turkey ‘round the back."

Fly turkey, fly real fast,..
Fly turkey, up in a tree,
Where the farmer cannot see.
Fly turkey, don’t make a sound,
Get away from Farmer Brown.

Mr. Brown said, "I’m with you,
I’d like to eat that turkey too..."
Fly turkey, fly real fast,..
Fly turkey, up in a tree,..
Mr. Brown picked up his axe...
Fly turkey, fly real fast,..
Fly turkey, up in a tree,..
Mr. Brown looked for the bird,
But not a gobble could be heard.
Where could that old turkey be?
He’s a’hidin’ in a tree!
Fly turkey, fly real fast...
Fly turkey, up in a tree...
Get away from Farmer Brown.
