Stan Freberg: Grover Groundhog, Walter Winchell

Quotes 

• Grover Groundhog : [singing]  A groundhog and his shadow are a very famous pair / They predict the weather together, a trick that is rare / Now the one little thing that bothers me whenever outdoors I go / Does my shadow mean springtime, or sixteen feet of snow? / Never know which, I just can't remember / Will it be warm, or make like December? / The whole thing just confuses me, and that is why I sing / A groundhog's shadow just doesn't mean a thing.

  Grover Groundhog : [Aside to audience]  Dogs are suckers for a sob story.
