A Woodchuck Lullaby

Melody: "Hobo's Lullaby" (well, Duuhhh!)

Cho:

Go to sleep, you weary Woodchuck.
As the snow goes drifting by
Can't you hear the north wind howling?
That's a Woodchuck's Lullaby.

I know the hunters cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere.
But when you go to Woodchuck heaven,
You'll find peace...and carrots there

(Cho.).

You might get hungry in the winter,
Sleeping underneath the snow.
But when you're back from where you've been ter*
You'll have Woodchuck meals to go.

(Cho)

*From an old Pogo Possum strip:

Owl: "Anyone who'd rhyme "winter" with "beenter" ought to have his head examined!"

Turtle: "I did! And they didn't find a thing!"
