Groundhog Day
Song of the Month · 2018
Downloads
February 2nd is Groundhog Day, and every year the famous groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil predicts either six more weeks of winter or an early spring. The town of Punxsutanwney, Pennsylvania celebrates with a festival of food and music. Children LOVE saying big words, so I've used Phil's name a lot in this song. Be sure to sing it slowly enough for your children to sing along!
Lyrics
Every year on February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil comes out of his hole. If he sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, it means there will be an early spring. Since you can only see your shadow when there is light, seeing your shadow means it's a sunny day — which means more winter! Children LOVE saying big words, so Phil's name is used a lot in this song. Be sure to sing it slowly enough for your children to sing along!
Punxsutawney Phil, Punxsutawney Phil
Come on out of your hole, it's Groundhog Day
Punxsutawney Phil, Punxsutawney Phil
Tell us, will winter be here to stay?
