Maestro, Ready the Choir


Thirty-six years ago today, the infamous A. of Going Country was born. And now it's time to sing the equally infamous The Woodchuck Man song. (Here are versions one, two, three, four, and five.)

Aaaand, GO!

Who can turn a failed wreath
Into something nice?

Who can clear the driveway 
of a ton of snow and ice?

The woodchuck man
The woodchuck man can
The woodchuck man can 
'Cause he uses what he has and makes it work for him.

Who can climb a mountain
Bearing double boys?

Who can carve a spoon
To bring his wife some joy?

The woodchuck man
The woodchuck man can
The woodchuck man can 
'Cause he uses what he has and makes it work for him.

Who can turn a rooster
Into table fare?

Who can bring me dinner
In the form of a snowshoe hare?

The woodchuck man
The woodchuck man can
The woodchuck man can 
'Cause he uses what he has and makes it work for him.

Happy birthday to A., the woodchuck man of the Great White North.

I wish Grandma were still here and able to enjoy your woodchuck songs--in her good years, she was a great one for making up verses about daily events, such as luring the old hound Luke with a ham bone. I suppose that one's lost forever. Great work, K!
