Show Songs for Thanksgiving

Some people watch football games on Thanksgiving Day. I don't, but one tradition I've established is to play "The Big Clown Balloons" right beore the parade. That always puts me in the happiest mood, and revives so many wonderful memories of our beloved theatre.

I thought it might be nice to think of some other show songs that can help get us into the spirit of the occasion.

We Sail the Seas (Ben Franklin in Paris)
Turkey Lurkey Time (Promises, Promises)
The Thank You Song (Maggie Flynn)
Plenty of Pennsylvania (Plain and Fancy)
Bless This Land (Tenderloin)
This Cornucopian Land (Cry for Us All)
Here's to Us (Little Me)

And from the last-named,

"Here's to us, for all that we have
And the road that we've traveled so far."

Hoping everyone has a happy Thanksgiving Day.

Strictly speaking, Turkey Lurkey is celebrating Christmas.

How about " Thanksgivingn Day " from THE GOOD OLD BAD OLD DAYS

I've always been partial to "I'm Here" from The Color Purple. Maybe it does not technically meet the definition of a Thanksgiving Song but the lyric...

...I'm thankful for every day that I'm given, both the easy and hard ones I'm living...

The perfect lyric to convey the very Thanksgiving concept of Thankfulness.

What's more Thanksgiving-y than cornucopias? So I nominate:
"I too have a cornu-
Copia of imperfections..." from LOVE WILL SEE US THROUGH, from FOLLIES.

“Country Comfort” from Elton John’s rock opera Tumbleweed Connection.

"Before The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Passes By"

"Don't Rain On My Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade"



I mean we all know that's what Dolly and Fanny REALLY wanted to sing....
