And for you and me.

GROUNDHOG WONDERLAND SONG

(to the tune of "Winter Wonderland")
Groundhogs hoot, are your listening?
'Neath the sun, all is glist'ning
A real warm light we're happy tonight
Waitin' in a Groundhog wonderland.
In the field, we're watching for the Groundhog.
We've been waiting for this day all year.
Do you think that he will see his shadow?
And will we know if springtime's almost here?
Later on, while we're eating
What we got on Groundhog Day
We'll share all our sacks
Of good Groundhog snacks
Waitin' in a Groundhog wonderland.

I'M DREAMING OF THE GREAT GROUNDHOG SONG

(to the tune of "White Christmas")
I'm dreaming of the Great Groundhog
Just like I do this time each year
When he brings nice weather
And brings us together
To wait for him to appear.
I'm dreaming of the Great Groundhog
With every groundhog card I write.
May your Groundhog's Day be bright
When the Great Groundhog visits you tonight

UP AT THE KNOB SONG

Sitting up and showing claws.
Is there a shadow her today?
If not spring is on the way.
Cheer, Cheer, Cheer
Spring is here!
Cheer, Cheer, Cheer
Spring is here!
Up at the Knob it is so clear
We're waiting for Springtime to appear!
Version 2: If Phil sees his shadow

Up at the Knob the groundhogs pause
Sitting up and showing claws.
"I see my shadow." says old Phil
Six more weeks of winter chill.
Boo, hoo, hoo,
We're so blue!
Boo, hoo, hoo,
We're so blue!
Up at the Knob when shadows come
Six more weeks till we have sun!
