[theme music playing]

My day.

[singing] A groundhog and his shadow

Are a very famous pair

They forecast the weather together

A trick that is rare

The one little thing that bothers me

When out of doors I go

Now does my shadow mean springtime

Or 16 feet of snow?

Never know which

I just can't remember

Will it be warm

Or make like December?

The whole thing just confuses me

And that is why I sing

A groundhog's shadow

Just doesn't mean a thing

[radio announcer] Flash! We interrupt this program

for an important announcement.

Today is Groundhog Day.

Anxiously, people have congregated outside his home

to witness Grover Groundhog's first appearance of the season.

The big question being,

will he come out with or without his shadow?

My public.

Ta-da!

[guns firing]

[panting]

Phew!

This meat shortage is sure tough on us animals.

Now look, Mandrake, this is what we're hunting.

A groundhog.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Groundhog.

I need one to complete my set of stuffed animals.

And here's some groundhog scent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Groundhog scent.

Now, go get him!

[barking]

Gosh! He's got him already.

-Boo! -[screams]

Don't do that!

You're a groundhog.

That gives you one dollar.

Do you care to try for two?

Snitch. Stool pigeon.

Squealing on little woodland creatures.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Oh, you do all right for yourself,

getting food handed to you, a house to sleep in.

[howling]

And what have I got?

It ain't fair, I tell you. It ain't fair!

Dogs are suckers for a sob story.

Atta boy, Mandrake.

One side, and I'll put a couple of slugs in him.

-[growling] -What's the big idea?

I'm gonna shoot that groundhog.

Hey, cut it out now. Now stop.

Now stop, Mandrake.

Quit. Stop it.

Get down, I say.

Hey, cut it out.

This is some hunting dog.

Letting a groundhog make a sap out of you.

I'll fix you so you can't hear him.

And now get going.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wife and 72 children.

[howling]

No coal in the cellar.

No!

What's the matter with you? Are you crazy or something?

You're no good as a hunting dog.

Good for nothing.

You're just a flea trap.

[scoffs] I'm gonna trade you in on a cat.

Now cut that out!

I'm gonna give you one more chance.

Now get!

[chomping]

Mandrake! Oh, not that.

God, you didn't.

I can't believe it. It ate the groundhog.

[gulps]

Why, you ought to be whipped within an inch of your life.

[indistinct whisper]

Yeah. A snitch.

Stupid.

That poor groundhog

with a wife and 72 children.

No polo ponies.

[indistinct whisper]

Had to roll his own cigarettes.

His wife has no nylons.

[sobbing]

I'm only three-and-a-half years old.

Why you little so and so, I'll get you!

[gunshots]

[chuckles] Missed me.

One side.

Shadow-boxing.

[all laughing]

This way, no one gets hurt.
