Emmet Otter's Jugband Thanksgiving
Emmet Otter's Jugband Thanksgiving
Happy as a bee in the tree making a tune so merrily
We only get a glimpse of what is to come
The thought to be thankful in a job well done
Out in the street a chance to meet & greet
A wooden soldier stands at the edge of my bed post
The love we show comes flowing in a reason to begin again
Emmet sifts through the morning newspaper only to discover
His band is coming along a chance to sing a song
Prancing through the leaves in a land of make believe
What to soar in this life for what we are to achieve
Thanksgiving comes but once a year with sweet cheer
A whole stuffed turkey with all it's trimmings
Only to summon a passing few for dinner well soon discover
Have to say thanks to our maker up above
Then to play our guitar outside in the mud
Emmet will soon discover is it any wonder he got to much time on his hands
A great plan out on the sled for a passing crow was full of dread
There will be peace in the valley for Emmet & band you understand
The tunes of glorious days gone by with a soft reply
Shadows turn the mud to sod a lonely frog
Give peace to all traveler's from here to far
A rainbow will appear from that of one shooting star
Sing out to the trees with turned up leaves to please
Emmet Otter's Thanksgiving with love down from heaven up above
