Punxsutawney Phil

Liner Notes
#cowcore is on the board! I love Groundhog's Day, even before the movie. I've written some more "serious" carols for the day, but I needed a little cowbell-therapy today so went for it. I used my tenor #ukulele to honor Ukulele Day which is also February 2.
Lyrics
Punxsutawney Phil is a ground hog Though in Germany he’s a hedgehog This silly tradition traveled over the sea In 1887 for people like me
Cowbell solo
Each year in great anticipation I watch with much of the nation Tho’ six weeks of winter feels quite long Most of his forecasts are quite wrong
(Spoken – quote from Phil in 2026) We look to the future and not just the past So I suppose this party could use a forecast It is my job this February two To look to the skies and report back to you That there is a shadow here on my ground Six more weeks of winter abound
Happy Groundhog’s Day is my wish Along with Christmas and a New Year’s kiss This silly tradition, it is quite fun As we move from winter to summer sun
Cowbell solo

One of my favorite songs ever about a rodent since, um,..."Three Blind Mice"?? Seriously--this was a lot of fun! Keep 'em coming!! ❤️
This is fun! And I learned something too about a hedgehog in Germany. lol I like how you gave the cowbell a solo. Good delivery too!
