SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!


The Challenge:  This challenge was a 'proxy challenge' I made on the 'Happy Groundhog Day' thread. 

Groundhog Day by Jeri
(Apologies to Martina McBride/Independence Day)

Well he seemed all right by dawns early light
Though he looked barely better than dead
He tried to pretend the snow was all gone
But an icicle fell on his head

And I was hiding behind my window
In my warm house determined to stay
So I oggled him then as he crawled from his den
On Groundhog Day

Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was going to come out
They watched him emerge and stand on the verge
Of begining to put winter to rout

Some folks whispered and some folks talked
As he saw that he blocked the sun's ray
And he just turned around, went back into the ground
On Groundhog Day

(CHORUS)
Let come the spring, Let the birdies sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let's stop shoveling snow, let the grasses grow
Roll the snow away, let the children play
It's Groundhog Day

Well I remember one year it was cloudy and drear
By the time that the groundhog came out
He sniffed the air, at the groud he did stare
"No shadow" we all began to shout

And spring came no faster, though the small furry bastard
Predicted it would, in his way
Talk about your folklore...
It's Groundhog Day
