Here’s a silly Thanksgiving song. It is sung to the tune of “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush”. Learn this song and sing it to the students of the elementary school who learn English. Or you might help them to have their own Thanksgiving lessons. Some of the younger students will be squirrels, woodchucks, chipmunks, and so on. You will help your young friends to enjoy their English lesson.
