American Groundhog
Lobagirl, 01/31/03
With Apologies to the Guess Who
American groundhog gonna guess your clime
American groundhog, he gonna guess your clime
I say A, I say M, I say E, I say R, I say I,
and then C, I say A, N
American groundhog, now it’s February
American groundhog, gonna set you free
The Inner Circle’s banging on your door
Gotta show the crowd your stuff once more
Don’t pretend that you have no clue
You know they’re speaking Groundhogese to you
Now, groundhog, it’s your holiday
American Groundhog, listen what I say-hey-hey-hey
American groundhog, listen to our plea
American groundhog, shorten winter please
Got those crowds a-hanging round your door
They don’t wanna see your shadow no more.
TV lights can hypnotize
But tranquilizer’s glazin’ over your eyes
Now, groundhog, it’s your holiday
American groundhog, listen what I say-hey-hey-hey
American groundhog, you’re here to stay
American groundhog, listen what I say
Don’t let the weather people make me snore
Their reports are always such a bore
We don’t need their fast machines
They can’t beat this party scene
TV lights can hypnotize
And tranquilizer’s glazed over your eyes
Now groundhog, call it spring for me
American groundhog, come and set us free.
It’s your holiday now, no more snow
Can’t believe you, groundhog
Can’t believe you, groundhog
My, my-hy. My my-hy..
Spring sounds good to me
Does spring sound good to you?
Gonna raise your body to the sky
So tell us what it’s gonna do
You say it’s gonna sleet
You say it’s gonna snow
Next year, American groundhog.
