Turkey in the Straw Songtext
von Fox & Branch

I went out to milk and I didn′t know how.
I milked the goat instead of the cow.
A monkey sitting on a pile of straw.
Was winking and blinking at his mother-in-law.

Turkey in the straw! Ha ha ha!
Turkey in the hay! Hey hey hey!
Roll 'em up and twist ′em and hi tuck a-haw.
Play a little tune called "Turkey in the Straw."

I had a little chicken and she didn't lay an egg.
I poured hot water up and down her leg.
The little chicken cried and the little chicken begged.
Now the gosh darn chicken laid a hard-boiled egg.

Turkey in the straw! Ha ha ha!
Turkey in the hay! Hey hey hey!
Roll 'em up and twist ′em and hi tuck a-haw.
Play a little tune called "Turkey in the Straw."


You know I came to the river and I couldn′t get across.
I paid five dollars for an old blind hoss.
He wouldn't go ahead and he wouldn′t stand still.
So he went up and down like an old sawmill.

Turkey in the straw! Ha ha ha!
Turkey in the hay! Hey hey hey!
Roll 'em up and twist ′em and hi tuck a-haw.
Play a little tune called "Turkey in the Straw."

Did you ever go fishing on a warm summer's day?
When all of the fish were swimming the bay.
With their hands in their pockets and their pockets in their pants.
Did you ever see a fishy do the Hoochy-Koochy Dance?

Turkey in the straw! Ha ha ha!
Turkey in the hay! Hey hey hey!
Roll ′em up and twist 'em and hi tuck a-haw.
Play a little tune called "Turkey in the Straw."

Turkey in the straw! Ha ha ha!
Turkey in the hay! Hey hey hey!
Roll 'em up and twist ′em and hi tuck a-haw.
Play a little tune called "Turkey in the Straw."
