GROUNDHOG DAY CAROLS CELBRATE THIS SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR

New words to traditional songs by singer/songwriters John and Jan Haigis celebrate this special time of year (when we are all ready for spring but spring is not quite ready for us). Groundhog Day marks the midpoint between the solstice and the equinox, (40 days before,  40 days after) and the light quality is changing, but the snow is falling, it is still cold,  and we are stuck once more in the middle of winter and longing for spring.

Sample-Groundhog Sleeping Underground       (Tune "Angels We Have Heard On High")                Sample: Heating Bills : (Tune "Jingle Bells")

I Don't Believe the Groundhog

The Hibernating Groundhog

(Tune: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

(Tune: The Holly and the Ivy)

I don't believe the Groundhog

When he forecasts early spring

The Hibernating Groundhog

I think he makes his money

Makes a furry little ball

From ski-wear manufacturing

From his burrow deep beneath the snow

He makes prognostications

His tidings cheer us all

From the top of Gobbler's Knob

The warming of the sun, in the flowing of the year

But if you ask my opinion

I think it's all a big snow job

The seasons cycle in their course

Means that spring will soon be here

They say he talks in Groundhogese

On this special day

But if they woke me up like that

See you at noon.

I think I'd have a lot to say

So listen to the Groundhog

Holler out in Groundhogese

Dammit I miss my slumber

The bunch of you can just go freeze
