Punxsutawney Phil Speaks

Hey, don'cha know I'm Punxsutawney Phil Yah, I give folks 'round these parts quite a thrill! 'Round the second of Feb. they all gather here Grab me from my hole to predict weather each year. Yep, I'm one special groundhog by the hoopla I hear Flags flying, bands playing, there's plenty of beer. But I'd rather stay here in my snug little place To eat what I want and just hibernate. My cheeks are chubby, my tummy is fat I'm warm and I'm cozy, I like it like that. But now I hear them coming for me They pull me right out of my quiet reverie. The crowd gathers 'round, they want me to speak To make proclamation, wise counsel to seek. Out into the cold winter air with a lurch All eyes trained on me, I cry out, "BUURRP"!
