The Groundhog's Day
(words and music by Norman G. Walker © SOCAN)

Such a morning, wanna stay in bed
Warm and cozy just fine

Calendar clock says a quarter to nine

It's February second and I know that it's time

Turn on the radio and wait for the news

Half asleep until ten

Under the covers I can plan my day

I'll be warm until then

It was only last October when I crawled in the sack

So sleepy at the end of the day

Did I cancel the paper? Remember the sign?

The one that says "no milk today"

Stumble to the kitchen stove and start a fire

Grind the coffee too

Had forgotten that linoleum could be that cold

Back to bed and wait for the brew.

Smell of espresso brings me back to the world
Guess it's time to get up,

Grab my clothes, where's my shoes, then it's back to the kitchen

Sing a song about a java jive and pour me a cup

It's the same situation every year at this time

It's a job I must do

Poke my head out the door just to look for my shadow

Think I'll wait till after noon

There's a mountain of junk mail inside of my door

And some Christmas cards I'll have to go through

Some bills for utilities are long overdue

Guess they'll wait another month or two

Pick up a six string and I play me a song

Clock on the wall it says one

First I'll have some lunch and then I'll do my duty

I'll go out and look for the sun

The thing about eating, well it makes me tired
I'll just lie down on the couch

I've got the rest of the afternoon to check out the sky

If I take a little nap then I won't be a grouch

I open my eyes and it's half past four

Sun will be sinking soon

That's alright cause my shadow will longer

And I love a good sunset too

I waited too long and now the sun is gone

There isn't much left to say

I tune to the weather channel on the TV

To see if the sun did shine today

Back to bed cause it's been a long day

Now it's half past ten

Close my eyes and I dream of a sunny April

If you look, you'll see me

Look, you'll see me

Look, you'll see me ........(snore).
