Introduction 

1st Narrator:

Over the river and through the wood
To Grandfather’s house we go,
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.

2nd Narrator:

Over the river and through the wood,
Oh, how the wind does blow,
It stings the toes,
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.

3rd Narrator:

Over the river and through the wood,
To have a first rate play,
Hear the bells ring,
“Ting-a-ling-ling!”
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

4th Narrator:

Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast my dapple gray
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.

5th Narrator:

Over the river and through the wood,
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy;
Hurrah for the fun
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
