Here are some other Groundhog Day songs:
Sittin' at Gobbler's Knob (to the tune of Sitting on The Dock of The Bay) © 1999 by Linda Hutson Grzelka
Sittin' in the morning sun We'll be sittin' till that groundhog comes. Watching the snowflakes fall, Hopin' that this will be all, yeah. Sittin' on the hill all day, Wishin' winter'd just go away. Oh, sittin' here at Gobbler's Knob, Wanting spring, ah ha ha. He'll leave his home underground, And make those headlines abound. Cuz there's nothin' else to live for, And hopes warm winds will blow his way. So, we're sittin' on the hill all day, Wishin' winter'd just go away. Sittin' here at Gobbler's Knob, Wanting spring. Looks like nothin's gonna change, Cold winter still remains the same. Phil can't tell winter what to do, Boy, it sure feels the same. Sittin' here cold and forlorn, Winter just won't leave us alone. Many miles we've roamed, Just to see this Phil guy's home. Oh, sittin' on the hill all day, Wishin' winter'd just go away. Sittin' here at Gobbler's Knob, Wanting spring. (Howling Sounds Now)
The Ballad of Punxsutawney Phil
To the tune of "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" aks "The Beverly Hillbillies Theme"
Authorship claimed by several (but not by me)
Come and listen to a story 'bout a groundhog, Phil
He sleeps throughout the winter to escape the bitter chill
And then one day on February Two
He's up from the ground, and here's what he will do
Open his eyes - Look around - Prognosticate
Well the next thing y'know, ol' Phil's a media star
Camera crews and newsmen come from near and far
To Punxsutawney town in the middle of PA
To determine whether winter will go or will it stay
Six more weeks - Maybe longer - In Minnesota
He sleeps throughout the winter to escape the bitter chill
And then one day on February Two
He's up from the ground, and here's what he will do
Open his eyes - Look around - Prognosticate
Well the next thing y'know, ol' Phil's a media star
Camera crews and newsmen come from near and far
To Punxsutawney town in the middle of PA
To determine whether winter will go or will it stay
Six more weeks - Maybe longer - In Minnesota
