Calling All Songbirds


Today is A.'s 37th birthday. And how do we celebrate A.'s birthday? With "The Woodchuck Man Can" song, of course! Here are versions one, two, three, four, five, and six.

Now on to version seven . . .

Who can feed his family
With meat he raised by hand?

And then provide some more by hunting on the land?

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 build a greenhouse
By starting with some trees?

Who can grow more food by planting many seeds?

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 take his young sons
Out to camp and hike?

Who can fix an old stone church with two small boys and a tyke?

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. Long may he reign as the king of woodchuck men.

  2. Hope you've kept all the songs lyrics over the years. Would be great to have them all put to pen and paper for future family song fests. You definitely have a gift, which can also be said of the husband you choose. Happy Birthday A.!

  3. Who can ride a bike to fetch his wife some things
    And climb a mountain like a king?

    Who can do his job a hundred miles away,
    and still have happy boys and a new girl anyway.

  4. I have been wondering about the church steps. Are they finished already? Mary in MN

  5. Mary: Oh yes, he finished them in September. At least, the worst parts of them. There are more places he could have repaired, but he finished what he wanted to get done before the hard freezes.
