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
