The song is written by Frank Loesser.

J.B.BIGGLEY
Groundhog!

FINCH
Groundhog!

J.B.BIGGLEY
Stand Old Ivy.
Stand firm and strong.
Grand Old Ivy,
Hear the cheering throng.

BOTH
Stand Old Ivy.
And never yield-
A-rip, rip, rip -
The Chipmunk off the field

FINCH
When you fall on a ball

J.B.BIGGLEY
And you're down there at the bottom of the heap.

FINCH
Down at the bottom of the heap.

J.B.BIGGLEY
Where the mud is oh so very, very deep.

FINCH
Down where it's very, very deep.

J.B.BIGGLEY
Don't forget 'twas

BOTH
That's why they call us,
They call us:
Groundhog!
Groundhog!

J.B.BIGGLEY
Groundhog! Groundhog!
Rip, rip, rip the Chipmunk

FINCH
Stand Old Ivy.
Stand firm and strong.

BOTH
Grand Old Ivy,
Hear the cheering throng

J.B.BIGGLEY
Groundhog! Groundhog! God bless you!

FINCH
Stand Old Ivy, and

BOTH
End never yield -
A-rip, rip, rip -
The Chipmunk off the field.

FINCH
Oh, I enjoyed that sir!

J.B.BIGGLEY
Stimulating, most stimulating.
Shall we do it one more time?

FINCH
Why not?

FINCH
Groundhog!

J.B.BIGGLEY
Groundhog!

BOTH
Stand Old Ivy.
Stand firm and strong.
Grand Old Ivy,
Hear the cheering throng.

Stand Old Ivy.
End never yield,
A-rip, rip, rip-
The Chipmunk off the field.
