O What a thrill
What great cheer--
It's Thanksgiving Day in the Morning
'Tis my most favorite time of the year
----Thanksgiving Day in the Morning!
Sniff the sweet rolls
Inhale the awesome air--
It's Thanksgiving Day in the Morning
Enjoy second helpings now if you dare
---Thanksgiving Day in the Morning
Relish the turkey
Enjoy plump pumpkin pie--
It's Thanksgiving Day in the Morning
But be thankful for your source-supply
---God who made Thanksgiving Morning!
