Here to pick some apples
Mama sent me here
Needs some very special ones
Thanksgiving now is here

She loves to make those goodies
All kinds that you can eat
Apple pies she makes with pride
That's Mama's special treat

All the family gathered
To share this special day
Wishing you good bounty
With love that comes your way

Hope your day is filled with
Family and good friends
Thanksgiving is the kind of day
When laughter never ends

I send to you my blessings
With bounty of great love
I wish for you the special joy
Thanksgiving is made of

When I get my piece of
This yummy apple pie
I'll smile and say I made it
I never tell a lie.
