- Grover Groundhog: [singing] A groundhog and his shadow are a very famous pair / They predict the weather together, a trick that is rare / Now the one little thing that bothers me whenever outdoors I go / Does my shadow mean springtime, or sixteen feet of snow? / Never know which, I just can't remember / Will it be warm, or make like December? / The whole thing just confuses me, and that is why I sing / A groundhog's shadow just doesn't mean a thing.
- Mandrake: You're a groundhog.
- Grover Groundhog: That gives you one dollar. Do you care to try for two?
- Grover Groundhog: Snitch! Stool pigeon! Squealing on little woodland creatures. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Oh, you do all right for yourself, getting food handed to you, a house to live in. But what have I got? It ain't fair, I tell you! It ain't fair!
- Grover Groundhog: [Aside to audience] Dogs are suckers for a sob story.
