Rap Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving...is a time to share
Thanksgiving...is a time to care. Thanksgiving
That’s the basic definition
The USA’s great family tradition

Thanksgiving is a holiday we have in the States
At the end of November, we celebrate
Family members meet. There’s lots to eat
Turkey, mashed potatoes, squash, and beets
Stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce

Grandma or grandpa is usually the boss
For many family members, the highlight is the pie. Some we bake at home. Others we buy
Apple, pumpkin, and pecan, too
Thanksgiving is coming. What are you going to do?

People give thanks in different ways
Some thank God on this special day
Others thank Mother Nature for being blessed
Some families watch football. Others just rest
Cousins tell stories. Aunts and uncles chat
We eat so much that our bellies get fat
New York City has the famous Macy’s Day parade. The fourth Thursday in November is Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving...is a time to share. Thanksgiving...is a time to care. Thanksgiving. That’s the basic definition. The USA’s great family tradition
Thanksgiving is a time to get together
As we all get ready for the  weather Some live close. Others travel far
We take planes, trains, buses, and cars
There could be love all around. Or in-laws might fight. You might leave after dinner or spend the night
So if it’s somewhere in the U.S. that you’re living, autumn is the season when you celebrate Thanksgiving
