Lyrics

if I were a groundhog
I would love you on the prairie
I’d love you in the burrow
I would love you in the sun
if I were a groundhog you would be my only one


if I were a groundhog
I’d ask you to dinner
we could eat in the meadow
or we could dig us a hole
cause you know groundhogs don’t need a fancy place to go

if I were a groundhog and you were my date
if I sang you a pretty song could we hibernate?


if I were a groundhog
down in the lowlands
and you were my woodchuck
with the finest coat of fur
down in the burrow we would raise some cubs

if I were a groundhog and you were my mate
if you fell in love with me, we could hibernate

I got no fingers, and I got no thumbs
but I’ll love you in the forest or right out in the sun
if I were a groundhog you would be my only one


sing for me whistle pig
sing for me whistle pig
I will hide you from the bobcats
I will hide you from the wolves
from the coyotes, foxes, hawks ‘n bears ‘n hoofs


if I were a groundhog
I would love you on the prairie
I’d love you in the burrow
I would love you in the sun
if I were a groundhog you would be my only one
