- Here's to the great American bird,
Who has fettered our heart with his cable,
'Till no Thanksgiving can seem complete
Without the turkey on the table
-
Here's to the venturesome Puritans,
Of valiant Mayflower stock;
And here's to the good old boat that anchored
Somewhere off Plymouth Rock.
-
Then here's a health to all of you
Who're glad that you're a-living,
And may you see much cause for which
To celebrate Thanksgiving.
