Who Needs Groundhog Day? (Patreon)

Yes, I should've had this at the beginning of the month, not the end. Sorry.  I actually could go on at great length about this holiday, but for the song it was primarily important and necessary for me to make no mention of Bill Murray.  

Music: "Who Needs Sleep?" by Steven Page & Ed Robertson

Now I lay me down not to sleepAmid these Pennsylvania geeks,The entertainment value's cheap,But what the hey, it fills my cheeks.

I'll never understand this thing,It's only halfway till the spring,A hundred news teams come each yearTo watch my blurry vision clear.

Woke up, I'm out of luck,They pick me up,The only thing that counts isWhere the light is,My head's down, I look around --(I need sleep)Well, I'm never gonna get it(I need sleep)Not on Groundhog Day(I need sleep)They say if I see my shadowThey'll be six more weeksOf winter on the way.

There should be anti-cruelty laws,You're lucky I've got soft, pink paws.The Weather Channel touts its tech,Then airs this superstitious dreck.

A big guy, in a tuxGot ahold of me,Maybe if I peeHe'll let me go,It's worth a try, I wanna die --(I need sleep)Well, I'm never gonna get it(I need sleep)Not on Groundhog Day(I need sleep)They say if I see my shadowThey'll be six more weeksOf winter on the way.(I need sleep)Tell me, what's the fascination(I need sleep)With rodent folklore?(I need sleep)Between lemmings and beavers,If a woodchuck could chuck,He'd chuck it out the door.There's so much money spent predictingWeather nowadays,But all that scientific data'sVanished in the craze,There's Doppler Radar, lake effect, heatIndex and wind chill, So why are all these morons here withPunxsutawney Phil?Woke up, I'm out of luck,They pick me up, The only thing that counts isWhere the light is,My head's down, I look around --

Badger Badger Badger!

(I need sleep)Well, I'm never gonna get it(I need sleep)Not on Groundhog Day(I need sleep)I get the blame, not the credit, andWhat in the hell is"Punxsutawney" anyway?(I need sleep)Well, I'm never gonna get it(I need sleep)Not on Groundhog Day(I need sleep)They say if I see my shadowThey'll be six more weeksOf winter on the way.
