Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.

Life is skittles and life is beer.

I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.

I do, don't you? 'Course you do.

But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,

And makes every Sunday a treat for me.

 

All the world seems in tune

On a spring afternoon,

When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

Every Sunday you'll see

My sweetheart and me,

As we poison the pigeons in the park.

 

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,

But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.

The sun's shining bright,

Everything seems all right,

When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

 

We've gained notoriety,

And caused much anxiety

In the Audubon Society

With our games.

They call it impiety

And lack of propriety,

And quite a variety

Of unpleasant names.

But it's not against any religion

To want to dispose of a pigeon.

 

So if Sunday you're free,

Why don't you come with me,

And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.

And maybe we'll do

In a squirrel or two,

While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

 

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment,

Except for the few we take home to experiment.

My pulse will be quickenin'

With each drop of strych'nine

We feed to a pigeon.

(It just takes a smidgin!)

To poison a pigeon in the park.

Shoulder up your gun and whistle up your dog

Shoulder up your gun and whistle up your dog

Off to the woods for to catch a groundhog

Oh groundhog

 

Run here Sally with a 10-foot pole

Run here Sally with a 10-foot pole

Twist this whistlepicker out of his hole

Oh groundhog

 

Here comes Sal with a snicker and a grin

Here comes Sal with a snicker and a grin

Groundhog gravy all over her chin

Oh groundhog

 

You eat up the meat and save the hide

Eat up the meat and save the hide

Best dern shoestring ever was tied

Oh groundhog

 

There's meat in the cupboard and butter in the churn

Meat's in the cupboard and butter's in the churn,

If that ain't groundhog I'll be durned

Oh groundhog

 

Watch them boys they're about to fall,

Watch them fellers they're about to fall,

They eat 'til their britches won't button at all

Oh groundhog

 

--old Appalachian folksong
