Song

Groundhogs Day

by

Primus

I couldn't find any good tabs for this song so I decided to try it out. I don't

know if its 100% correct but here you go.

Lyrics:

When I woke up this mornin I felt a pang.

I was hungerin for some apple pie.

Stumble in the bathroom, hung my hog a little bit.

Washed the sleep out of my eye.

Oh yeah, its gonna be a fine day.

Scratched myself a bit.

Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex.

Closest thing I could find to apple pie.

Lingerin taste of toothpaste

Made the milk go down a bit funny.

But you know, them chex they do satisfy.

Oh yeah, this'll be a fine day.

So, after my mornin rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean.

Had my mind set to hit them streets.

Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out.

Had my black stomp-boots on my feet.

Its my day.

Since I was in kneepants my pop had tried to make me realize. if i

Set my mind down to it I could be a big man in the public eye. so

With my big blue collar on, I set out to find the easy way. what an

Ice cold bath it was when I found you had to pay to play. to taste

The taste its a tease that never would subside. the taste is strong

But soured by my learned eyes. well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood,

Hed get down on his knees to pray. this little snappy boy might see

The light this ground hogs day.
