Day One

Lyrics

Who is that (who is that?)
 Emerging from his burrow?
 Who can see today what we won't see until tomorrow?
 Shaman of the shadows, springer of the spring
 Springer of the spring, Come on!
 Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver?
 Kinda both but not quite either
 That's right woodchuck-chuckers it's Groundhog Day
 We're live from Gobblers Knob talking about everything
 Weather
 Predictions
 Temperature
 The weather
 It's just nuts
 Totally wacky
 That's our town on February second
 I mean what could be crazier than groundhogs in February?
 Good morning, this is your wakeup call
 Thank you
 Happy Groundhog Day
 Yeah, happy Groundhog Day
 That's a great hat you're wearing
 Thanks, I made it myself
 Lumpy bed, ugly curtains
 Pointless erection
 Dried flowers, damp towels
 No reception
 Small towns, tiny minds
 Big mouths, small ideas
 WoooodCHUCKS
 Shallow talk, deep snow, cold fronts
 Big rears
 Now, how cold was it last year?
 In degrees?
 I heard they don't even use degrees in Europe
 That's a good point!
 GREAT point!
 Lotta mysteries out there
 One bar, one store, one clock
 One diner, one bank, one cop
 Now the question on everyone's lips
 Chapped lips
 Do you think Phil will see his shadow?
 I mean, what's not to like in a quaint little place like this?
 Who doesn't dig a crocheted pillowcase like this?
 Watercolors of bucolic vistas, painted by octogenarian spinsters and
 All of the people just getting together for
 Relentless analysis of the weather their
 Dumb superstitions and vacuous chat
 I'm sure there was a pack of Xanax in this jacket!
 You couldn't pay me to stay here one more night
 Swear that there is no cheque you could write
 That might tempt me to stay and wake up in the morning in
 Punxsutawney
 Ba-da-bap-bap-ba-da-da-ba-da
 There's nothing more depressing than, small town, USA
 And small don't come much smaller than Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day
 ♪
 Ba-da-bap-bap-ba-da-da-ba-da
 There's nothing more depressing than, small town USA
 And small don't come much smaller than
 Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day
 I've not a bad word to say about small towns per-say
 They're nice for an hour or at a stretch, half a day
 And they're perfect for a stop off on your way, on your way to somewhere else
 Pretty much ... anywhere else
 And I've no qualm at all with your small town people
 I admire their balls getting out of bed at all
 To face another day in a shit hole this small
 All haystacks and horses where there should be golf courses and -
 One bar, one store, one clock
 One diner, one bank, one cop
 How can they bear it, to live in a place like this?
 Separate from the whole human race like this
 One little store selling plaid shirts and rakes
 And it's huntin' and fishin' and half-pounder steaks
 And if I have a hope of a better career than this
 This is the last time I'm broadcasting here, Jesus
 I have been forecasting too many years to be talking to hicks about magical beavers
 When I'm done I'm gonna call up the station and tell them I'm through with this crap!
 And never again will I wake in the morning in -
 Punxsutawney
 Is a little town with a heart as big as any town, as any small town
 In the USA and there is no town greater than Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day!
 Tomorrow I'll wake and I'll call up the station and tell 'em I'm not coming back
 And never again will I wake in the morning in -
 Every morning I wake to the dawning of
 Never again will I wake in the morning in
 Punxsutawney
 Is a little town with a heart as big as any town
 There's nothing more depressing than small town, USA!
 And there is no town smaller than Punxsutawney on Groundhog
 There's nothing more depressing than small town, USA!
 And there is no town smaller than
 Punxsutawney on
 Punxsutawney on
 Punxsutawney on
 Groundhog -
 Just kill me now
 Day!
 Who is that (who is that?)
 Emerging from his burrow?
 Who can see today what we won't see until tomorrow?
 Shaman of the shadows, springer of the spring
 Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver?
 Kinda both but not quite either
 All the meteorologists the world has ever known
 Cannot match this little guy's uncanny skill!
 We can guess but we won't know if we should dress for sun or snow
 Until we hear it from old Punxsutawney Phil
 Every year for a hundred years
 We've bent our heads and lent our ears
 To listen to his famed prognostication
 Lucky for you I speak with ease
 Both English and Groundhogese!
 Please stand by for imminent translation!
 This brown log containeth one Groundhog
 The famous Philip of Punxsutawney
 Gifted sniffer of future mornings
 The finest specimen you will find of Rodentia Sciuridae
 Our own uncanny whistlepig!
 The groundest hog that ever lived!
 A hundred years and he is still
 The pride of Punxsutawney!
 The prophet of the age!
 Prognosticating Punxsutawney Phil!
 Who is that (who is that?)
 Emerging from his burrow?
 Who can see today what we won't see until tomorrow?
 Shaman of the shadows, springer of the spring!
 Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver?
 Kinda both but not quite either
 All the meteorologists the world has ever known
 Cannot match this little guy's uncanny skill!
 We can guess but we won't know if we should dress for sun or snow
 Until we hear it from old Punxsutawney Phil!
 Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of prognosticators
 Has declared in Groundhogese
 That he did indeed see his shadow!
 Six more weeks of winter!
 All the meteorologists the world has ever known
 Cannot match this little guy's uncanny skill!
 We can guess but we won't know if we should dress for sun or snow
 Until we hear it from old Punxsutawney Phil!
 February second, first remote broadcast
 GHD in Punx, PA
 Unexpected weather
 Seems we're staying here for another night
 Which is kind of fine
 It's a sweet town and people are kind and
 The bartender's kinda hot
 Hopefully tomorrow, the roads will be cleared and we can go home
 Working with Phil Connors
 They all told me he would be an asshole ... and he is
 Luckily he's funny ... ish
 Thinks he's too good for this
 Tomorrow spring will come (spring will come)
 There will be blue skies my friend
 Bright eyes and laughter
 Tomorrow there will be sun (there will be sun)
 But if not tomorrow perhaps the day aaa
