Groundhog Song
“Groundhog Song” was written for our climate action group’s second Working Summit on Climate Change, which was held on February 2, 2019.
Groundhog, groundhog,
What makes your eyes so red?
I’ve been livin’ in the ground so long,
Mortified in my head, ya, mortified in my head.
Groundhog, groundhog,
What makes you act so mean?
Sleepin’ down there by the side of the road,
Wanderin’ in my dreams, ya, wandering in my dreams.
Groundhog, groundhog,
What you sittin’ there peering for?
Lay me a path round the mountainside,
F’love come to my door, ya, for love to come to my door.
Groundhog, groundhog,
What makes your fur so brown?
Scrub in the sunshine, scrub it in the rain,
It always comes out the same, ya, it always comes out the same.
Groundhog, groundhog,
What did your shadow say?
Stretch your spirit round the weight of the world,
Wake in the light of day, ya, wake in the light of day.
Groundhog, groundhog,
What makes your eyes so red?
I’ve been livin’ in the ground so long,
Mortified in my head, ya, mortified in my head.
