Sung to: "I'm a little teapot"
Here's a little groundhog, furry and brown,
He's popping up to look around.
If he sees his shadow, down he'll go.
Then six more weeks of winter –
Oh no!!
 

Sung to: "Camp-town Races"
Who is scared of his shadow?
Groundhog, Groundhog!
Who can make the winter go?
That's the groundhog, too.
If his shadow shows,
Six more weeks of snow.
Little groundhog, do not fear,
Spring will soon be here.
 
 
(Tune:Little White Duck)
There's a little groundhog
Who lives in the ground,
A little groundhog
Who likes to look around.
She comes outside on
Groundhog's Day-
If she sees her shadow,
Then she runs away.
There's a little groundhog,
Who loves to stay and play
When spring's on its way.
 
 
Groundhog, Groundhog, popping up today.
Groundhog, Groundhog, can you play?
If you see your shadow, you can stay.
Groundhog, Groundhog, popping up today.
Groundhog, Groundhog, can you play?
 
 
(Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a little groundhog, it's my day.
Wake and stretch; go out and play.
Down in my burrow, down so deep,
Time to wake up, from my long winter's sleep.
Grumble, grumble, scratch, scratch,
Grunt, grunt, yawn.
I'll eat my breakfast in your front lawn.
I'm a little groundhog, it's my day.
Wake and stretch; go out and play.
