Groundhog Day

They hate me in the garden
They hate me in the yard
The life of a groundhog
Is awfully darn hard
Oh, they set out traps
They throw their rocks
They swerve at me with cars
But on the second day of February
Suddenly—I'm a star!
On Groundhog Day
I dress up in high style
Step out of my winter home
The crowd goes wild
Photographers are snapping
The networks all are there
They want to know the answer
Like I really care
If I see my shadow
Lying on the ground
That means that spring is coming
No, it's the other way around
It's if I see my shadow
I go back in my hole
It's six more weeks of winter
It's all in my control
Yes, on Groundhog Day
The whole world is mine
They want to know the answer
Will it snow or will it shine?
Kings and queens and presidents
All gather 'round my hole
They ask me how I do it
But I'll never tell a soul
I never can remember
I just can't keep it straight
As far as I'm concerned
They can all just sit and wait
While I control the seasons
I control the sun
I control the snowstorms
I rule everyone!
Although today I'm famous
Tomorrow's just another day
I'll go back to hibernating
In that boring groundhog way
Smelling like a groundhog
Dreaming groundhog dreams
Even worldwide fame
Is much more fragile than it seems
