Day One

Lyrics

[Alarm Clock] Who is that? Who is that? Emerging from his burrow? Who can see today what we won't see until tomorrow? Shaman of the shadows [RADIO DJ #1] Springer of the spring Come on [RADIO DJ #1] Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver? [RADIO DJ #1] Kinda both [RADIO DJ #1] But not quite either! [RADIO DJ #1] That's right, woodchuck-chuckers, it's [RADIO DJ #1] Groundhog Day! [RADIO DJ #1] We're here live from Gobbler's Knob talking about everything! Weather [RADIO DJ #2] Predictions [RADIO DJ #1] Temperature [RADIO DJ #2] The weather [RADIO DJ #1] It's just nuts! [RADIO DJ #2] Totally wacky! [RADIO DJ #1] That's our town on February 2nd [RADIO DJ #2] I mean what could be crazier than groundhogs in February? [Phone] Good morning, this is your wake up call [RADIO DJ #1] Nothing! But we love it [PHIL] Thank you [RADIO DJ #2] Love it! I loves me sound groundhog [Phone] Happy Groundhog Day [PHIL] Yeah, happy Groundhog Day. [RADIO DJ #1] By the way, that's a great hat you're wearing [RADIO DJ #2] Thanks! I made it myself! [PHIL] Lumpy bed, ugly curtains Pointless erection [RADIO DJ #1] Now, is that supposed to be a hollow log? [RADIO DJ #2] On my head! [RADIO DJ #1] I hope it's warm enough [RADIO DJ #2] Yes, it's very important to wear a warm hat [RADIO DJ #1] You know, there's talk of a blizzard [RADIO DJ #2] Well, it's cold enough [RADIO DJ #1] How cold would you say it is? [RADIO DJ #2] Oh, I'm no good at science [PHIL] Dried flowers, damp towels No reception [RADIO DJ #2] Doesn't matter how cold it is, it's how cold you feel [RADIO DJ #1] You know, you lose up to eighty percent of your body heat through your head? [RADIO DJ #2] True fact! I learned that in high school [PHIL] Small towns, tiny minds Big mouths, small ideas [RADIO DJ #1] Gooooo Chucks! [PHIL] Shallow talk, deep snow Cold fronts, big rears [RADIO DJ #1] Let's change the subject. Now, how cold was it last year? [RADIO DJ #2] In degrees? [RADIO DJ #1] I heard they don't even use degrees in Europe [RADIO DJ #2] That's a good point [RADIO DJ #1] Great point [RADIO DJ #2] Lotta mysteries out there [RADIO DJ #1] Yeah, stuff we just don't understand no matter how much we read [PHIL] One bar, one store, one clock [RADIO DJ #2] The great mysteries of the universe [PHIL] One diner, one bank, one cop [RADIO DJ #1] Mysterious things. But right now, the question on everyone's lips [RADIO DJ #2] Chapped lips [RADIO DJ #1] Do you think Phil will see his shadow? What's your prediction? [PHIL] I mean, what's not to like in a quaint little place like this? Who doesn't dig a crocheted pillowcase like this? Watercolors of bucolic vistas Painted by octogenarian spinsters And all of the people just getting together For relentless analysis of the weather Their dumb superstitions and vacuous chat I'm sure there was a pack of Xanax in this jacket You couldn't pay me to stay here one more night Swear that there is no check you could write that might Tempt me to stay and wake up in the morning in [TOWNSPEOPLE] Punxsutawney [PHIL] There's nothing more depressing than Small Town U.S.A. And small don't come much smaller than Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day [PHIL] There's nothing more depressing than Small Town U.S.A. And small don't come much smaller than Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day [TOWNSPEOPLE] Punxsutawney Pennsylvania U.S.A Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day [PHIL] I've not a bad word to say about small towns per se They're nice for an hour or at a stretch, half a day And they're perfect for a stop-off on your way On your way to somewhere else Pretty much anywhere else And I've no qualm at all With your small-town people I admire their balls Getting out of bed at all To face another day in a shit-hole this small All haystacks and horses where there should be golf courses And one bar, one store, one clock One diner, one bank, one cop How can they bear it To live in a place like this? Separate from the whole human race like this? One little store selling plaid shirts and rakes And it's huntin' and fishin' and half-pounder steaks And if I have a hope of a better career than this This is the last time I'm broadcasting here Jesus I have been forecasting too many years To be talking to hicks about magical beavers When I'm done, gonna call up the station And tell them I'm through with this crap And never again will I wake in the morning in [TOWNSPEOPLE] Punxsutawney Is a little town With a heart as big as any town As any small town in the U.S.A. And there is no town greater than Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day [PHIL] Tomorrow I'll wake and I'll call up the station And tell them I'm not coming back And never again will I wake in the morning in [TOWNSPEOPLE] Every morning I wake to the dawning of [PHIL] Never again will I wake in the morning in [PHIL & TOWNSPEOPLE] Punxsutawney [TOWNSPEOPLE] Is a little town With a heart as big as any town [PHIL] There's nothing more depressing than Small Town U.S.A. And there is no town smaller Punxsutawney on Groundhog There's nothing more depressing than Small Town U.S.A. And there is no town smaller than Punxsutawney on Punxsutawney on Punxsutawney on Just kill me now [TOWNSPEOPLE] As any small town In the U.S.A. There is no town greater than Punxsutawney A heart as big as any town As any small town In the U.S.A. And there is no town greater than Punxsutawney on Punxsutawney on Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day! [TOWNSPEOPLE] Who is that? Who is that? Emerging from his burrow? Who can see today what we won't see until tomorrow? Shaman of the shadows Springer of the spring Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver? [BUSTER] Kinda both But not quite either! [TOWNSPEOPLE] All the meteorologists The world has ever known Cannot match this little guy's uncanny skill We can guess but we won't know If we should dress for sun or snow Until we hear it from old Punxsutawney Phil! [BUSTER] Every year for a hundred years We've bent our heads and lent our ears To listen to his famed prognostication Lucky for you, I speak with ease Both English and Groundhog-ese Please stand-by for imminent translation [ELDERS] This brown log contain-eth One groundhog, the famous Phillip of Punxsutawney Gifted sniffer of future mornings [TOWNSPEOPLE] The finest specimen you will find Of Rodentia: Sciuridae Our own uncanny whistle-pig The ground-est hog that ever lived A hundred years and he is still The pride of Punxsutawney The prophet of PA Prognosticatin' Punxsutawney Phil Who is that? Who is that? Emerging from his burrow? Who can see today what we won't see until tomorrow? Shaman of the shadows Springer of the spring Is it a squirrel? Is it a beaver? [BUSTER] Kinda both But not quite either [TOWNSPEOPLE] All the meteorologists The world has ever known Cannot match this little guy's uncanny skill We can guess but we won't know If we should dress for sun or snow Until we hear it from old Punxsutawney Phil! [BUSTER] Punxsutawney Phil, seer of seers Prognosticator of prognosticators Has declared in Groundhog-ese That he did indeed see his shadow Six more weeks of winter! [TOWNSPEOPLE] Awwwww Yaaay! [TOWNSPEOPLE] All the meteorologists The world has ever known Cannot match this little guy's uncanny skill We can guess but we won't know If we should dress for sun or snow Until we hear it from Punxsutawney Phil [RITA HANSON] February 2nd First remote broadcast GHD in Punx, PA [RITA] Unexpected weather Seems we're staying here for another night Which is kinda fine It's a sweet town and People are kind and The bartender's kind of hot Hopefully, tomorrow The roads will be cleared And we can go home Working with Phil Connors They all told me he would be an asshole And he is Luckily he's funny-ish Thinks he's too good for this [TOWNSPEOPLE] Tomorrow Spring will come, and then There will be blue skies, my friend Tomorrow There will be sun And if not tomorrow Perhaps the day aaaaaa- [TOWNSPEOPLE] Tomorrow, spring will come, and then There will be blue skies, my friend Bright eyes and laughter Tomorrow, there will be sun But if not tomorrow Perhaps the day aaaaa-
