Every February second at Gobbler’s Knob,
Phil the groundhog does his job
Predicting how long winter will last
Thousands come for the big forecast

Now, the MC’s spiffy in his tall top hat
Gives a speech, and the people clap.
Up pops Phil from his groundhog hole
Crowd is hushed-- there’s a loud drum roll!

Now, if Punxatawney Phil sees his shadow
Winter’s gonna be another six weeks long
But if he don’t see nada
Soon the Robin’s gonna sing her song!

(Repeat Chorus with kids and keep singing)

The groundhog whispers in the MC's ear
As everybody strains to hear
Top Hat nods then he shouts the news:
"Six More Weeks of Winter Blues!" 

(Oh, no!)Punxatawney Phil saw his shadow
Winter's gonna be another six weeks long!
He's got foolproof data
Hundred years and never once been wrong!
(Repeat Chorus with kids and keep singing)

(Instrumental over verse)

Now, if Punxatawney Phil sees his shadow
Winter's gonna be another six weeks long
But if he don't see nada
Soon the Robin's gonna sing her song!

(Repeat Chorus with kids and keep singing)
