GROUNDHOG’S DAY PRESIDENTS’ DAY

Groundhog's Day, I looked around,Lincoln and Washington

Saw my shadow on the groundThey are remembered on

Yes I saw my shadow, Presidents' Day.

When I took a peekTwo men in history

That means winter 6 more weeks! Who gave us liberty.

Honor their memories

LITTLE GEORGIE GROUNDHOG On this great day.

Way deep down

In a hole in the groundGEORGE WASHINGTON

Lived little Georgie Groundhog One time there was a little boy

All furry and round. Who had a little hatchet

Little Georgie Groundhog He looked and looked around

Popped up one day, To find a little tree to catch it

He looked around and decided to stay. At last he spied a cherry tree

But just as Little Georgie His father’s pride and joy

Started to play He chopped it down,

Out popped his shadow Right to the ground

And frightened him away. My! What a naughty boy!

Back down his hole Little Georgie sped

Back to his home ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Back to his bed! President Lincoln is a favorite president

LITTLE GROUNDHOG He is honored and loved by Little groundhog down below, many

Underneath the wintry snow. So we do not forget him

Come on out and tell us true... We put his face on our penny

Is Spring coming?

Is Winter through?OUR PRESIDENTS

Our presidents, our presidents,

I’M A LITTLE GROUNDHOG We honor them today.

I'm a little groundhog, furry and brown,Our presidents, our presidents,

See me pop while I look around,We honor them today.

If I see my shadow, down I'll goRemembering presidents of

Six more weeks of winter, oh no!the past,

And honoring him who serves

MR. GROUNDHOG today.

Mr. Groundhog, Mr. Groundhog, Our presidents, our presidents,

Take a peek, Take a peek. We honor them today.

If you see your shadow

For six more weeks, six more weeks.
