Groundhog
Day, celebrated on February 2nd of each year, in the town of Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania, has an annual celebration centering around the activity of the groundhog...
...."Punxsutawney Phil." |
If the groundhog sees his
shadow it means six more weeks of winter!
The Ballad of
Punxsutawney Phil
Sung To:
The Beverly Hillbillies Theme
by Don Halley
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
A shadow means a longer nap for Phil and all his kin
They begin to huddle up and start a new sleep-in
But you and me we just can't sleep throughout the winter here
So have a heapin' hopin' the shadow won't appear
