My Marmot and Me

Lyrics Christiane Duchesne, Paul Kunigis Music Paul Kunigis

Every morning
I spend time with my bunny
Grab some carrots
The day is so sunny
Every morning
On the way to the garden
A marmot pops up
And says to me,
“Good day!
Have you come to play?”

I say, “No, can’t you see?
It’s time for my bunny and me”

‘Round about noon
I spend time with my mouse
I pack up some cookies
Then I leave the house
‘Round about noon
Beneath my umbrella
A marmot pops up
And says to me,
“Good day!
Do you want to play?”

I say, “No, can’t you see?
It’s time for my mouse and me”

Late in the evening, my black wolf and I
We read ‘The old lady who swallowed a fly’
Late in the evening, on the side of the path
A marmot pops up and says to me,
“Gee! Will you read to me?”

I say; “No, can’t you see?
It’s time for my black wolf and me”

My poor, poor marmot, I know it’s not fair
No carrots, no cookies, no stories to share
But tomorrow here’s what we’ll do
I’ll come by with something especially for you

Hey, Groundhog
What would you like from me?

“All that I want is this:
Just give me a sweet little kiss”
