And that's why they are called Turkeys, kids!

(sung to the tune of 'Turkey in the Straw')

Columbus thought he knew that the world was round

So he sailed off in a ship, and this is what he found

He thought he was in India, you see

So he called the birds turkeys, though Turkey isn't here!

Oh, Turkey in the straw La la la

Turkey in the straw La la la

I don't know ask your mother-in-law

Something bout a turkey in the straw

You know, India, Turkey, they're both in Asia... I'm sure we Westerners were always getting the two confused! Even though Columbus being Italian would have known Turkey much better than most Westerners! Maybe that's why we call them turkeys... makes sense to me!

God loves you!

Sincerely.
