There's a country dance at the only hall in town
And everybody comes from all around
They wanna hear a gobble and a scratchin on the ground
They come from far and wide to hear the turkey sound

Turkey in the straw
(Haw haw haw)
Turkey in the hay
(Hay hay hay)
And the old folks dance with their mother-in-law
As they dance to a tune we call turkey in the straw

They dance to the left and they dance to the right
They dance to the tune all through the night
And a shriek and a gasp, they gave him such a fright
A turkey dancin with them what a wonderful sight

Turkey in the straw
(Haw haw haw)
Turkey in the hay
(Hay hay hay)
And the old folks dance with their mother-in-law
As they dance to a tune we call turkey in the straw

Turkey in the straw
(Haw haw haw)
Turkey in the hay
(Hay hay hay)
And the old folks dance with their mother-in-law
As they dance to a tune we call turkey in the straw
