Ron called me up a while back and said there was a groundhog in his yard eating all the flowers that he had planted. I remember the groundhog that ate most of our garden, when I was a kid. I told Ron he ought to write a song about it he sent some lyrics and after merging the two this is the result.
I Planted me a garden three weeks ago todayLife was good Till the garden disappeared without a traceI heard a little scratching and opened the back door to seeThere sat a varmint with a grin just looking up at me…..There’s a groundhog in the garden……eating up the corn and beansThere’s a groundhog in the garden……he’s big furry and meanI saw him this morning run in a hole ….Gotta get my shovel and a 10 foot poleHoney I’m sorry…..I can’t go with you to the MallI GOTTA catch that critter……or we won’t have a garden at allDarling would you bring me…. a sandwich on your way homeI got a varmint to catch ……and I’m gonna’ be here all day long.There’s a groundhog in the garden……eating up the corn and beansThere’s a groundhog in the garden……he’s big furry and meanI saw him this morning run in a hole ….Gotta get my shovel and a 10 foot poleMr. Groundhog I’m gonna make an example out of youCause when you eat a poor man’s garden you’ll end up a poor man’s stew.There’s a groundhog in the garden……eating up the corn and beansThere’s a groundhog in the garden……he’s big furry and meanI saw him this morning run in a hole ….Gotta get my shovel and a 10 foot poleGotta get my shovel Gotta get my shovelGotta get my shovelGotta get my shovel and a 10 foot pole
