Now I'm a walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in my den
Now I'm a walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow, John I believe I'll go back in
Now I want some feedin' mama, so I can hear a high sound
If you don't feed me baby, I believe I'll go back in the ground
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow you say you don't love me,
I believe I'll go back in
Now I wanna hear some swingin' music, I wanna hear a Fats Waller song
Now if I start to
jitter-buggin'
, I'm forgettin' my hole down in the ground
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, man and I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love me,
I believe I'll go back in
Yes John, you know what I mean
Oh you know I'm a-walkin' wild
Now I need some pettin' baby, baby you know what I mean
Now if you don't pet me baby, I believe I'll go back down in New Orleans
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, at night I walks around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love me,
yeah an' I believe I'll go back in
