Primus - Ground Hog's Day Lyrics






When I woke up this mornin' I felt a pang
I was hungerin' for some apple pie
Stumble in the bathroom, hung my hog a little bit
Washed the sleep out my eye
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a fine day
Scratched myself a bit
Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex
Closest thing I could find to apple pie
Lingerin' taste of toothpaste
Made the milk go down a bit funny
But you know, them chex they do satisfy
Oh yeah, this'll be a fine day
So, after my mornin' rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean
Had my mind set to hit them streets
Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out
Had my black stomp-boots on my feet
It's my day

Since I was in kneepants my pop had tried to make me realize
If I set my mind down to it I could be a big man in the public eye
So with my big blue collar on, I set out to find the easy way
What an ice cold bath it was when I found you had to pay to play
To taste the taste
It's a tease that never would subside
The taste is strong but soured by my learned eyes
Well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he'd get down on his knees to pray
This little snappy boy might see the light this groundhog's day

  6. S.... J....

    Had this album when it came out.I liked the band when they were relatively unknown,you could put this weirdo shit on and freak people out. No more of that.
    Guitar hero and pro skater fucked it all up. Nothing means nothing anymore.

  7. J.... M....

    You got some of the silliest lyrics! Larry on guitar and in my opinion playing better than Jimi and then then you got Tim on drums just fucking shit up! Oh and the wacky lyricist is obviously the baddest bassist ever. Holy fucking shit. Sheer genius. Kinda feel bad for you if your not feeling it.

  30. T.... ....

    awesome!

  31. E.... A....

    how in the name of pudding time can 49 idiots NOT like this!!?? go listen to one direction

  32. H.... ....

    LER YOU ARE A GOD GODDAMNIT if it werent for ler song like this one or Kalamazoo would be missing so much

  33. C.... M....

    I love Primus! They are one of my biggest fans of all time!

  34. b.... ....

    This album is really interesting to me since Larry plays a lot of the lead riffs; whereas in later albums he's usually adding texture to a Claypool lead.

  35. W.... F....

    When in the days three friends met, one a Metalhead one a Punk and one a Bluesrocker, this was the kind of music we could all agree on. The other one was Ween also great stuff!!!

    W.... F....

    Wolfgang Falck that’s the way ya do it

  36. D.... M....

    Primus sucks...

  37. N.... S....

    Listening 500th time
    this jams still fkn with my mind. Focusing on drums I find:
    Something fishy's going on!
    Two drummers together?
    Wrong!
    Just Tim's polyrhythms
    type this song!
    This insane groove's forever strong!
    Fish On!

    N.... S....

    Fish awn!

  38. D.... M....

    here, https://urbandictionary.store/products/mug?defid=3397121

  39. W.... S....

    This is what school shooters listen to

    W.... S....

    Wade Sams and to shoot heroin

    W.... S....

    Wade Sams what?

    W.... S....

    Sounds more like grave robber music to me especially Bob my name is mud and pretty much everything on that album

  40. S.... D....

    primus sucks oh yeahhhh

  41. l.... s....

    MY DAYYYYYYYY

  42. M.... ....

    I saw them play this in Birmingham while I was tripping my ass off. Unreal experience, Primus is always good.

    u.... n....

    They played this in Detroit a week ago.... I was also tripping fucking balls. "Unreal" is exactly the word I would use for it.

    u.... n....

    Shawn E that sounds like it could be a life changing experience. Like seeing god.

    u.... n....

    AP1 S2K dude... They also played The Desaturating Seven in its entirety. Kinda lost my mind for a bit.

    u.... n....

    Tripped in the front row in Cincinnati when he was with the frog brigade...it was a bit life changing lol, absolutely amazing...and they covered space oddity...seen Primus twice, claypooll in all 6 times, Bonnaroo 2004 was ripping

  44. B.... B....

    Primus Sucks!

  48. C.... H....

    Prius sucks

    C.... H....

    PRIMUS IS GOOD

    C.... H....

    letter man was not available to save my typing (M). perhaps if you were at all familiar with, I don't know, ahem, their first release. the whole 'primus sucks!' would make sense. so fuck the jackasses who show their bandwagon fan bravado by posting defense of the band.

    C.... H....

    Primus sucks hard. Just got my tickests for Hard Rock August 2017 Tahoe

    C.... H....

    yeah! fuck those little electric cars!

    C.... H....

    God damn hybrids

  49. S.... S....

    This song makes me squirt

    S.... S....

    Perhaps you need a referral to an urologist mate.

  50. H.... o....

    fav primus song

  51. A.... M....

    Thanks a thanks

  52. C.... ....

    Happy Groundhogs day 2016 :)

  53. A.... L....

    blazing fast guitar play!

  54. h.... m....

    i like to think im a decent guitar player. i can emulate hendrix and clapton pretty damn well. but this shit is off my radar lol, and is probably one of their simpler tunes. primus sucks, i love all their albums

    h.... m....

    holden meisner larry lalond was the guitarist for possesd in 85 thats pretty cool

    h.... m....

    Larry LeLonde is an enigma.

    h.... m....

    Larry L. Is a way under-rated guitarist! I think he should be given way more credit than he is.

    h.... m....

    He was tough by a great Guitarist! Before Primus.

    h.... m....

    Todd huth is also very good

  55. E.... T....

    "...poured me out a bowl o' Corn Chex. Closest thing I could fiiiiiind to apple pie."

  56. L.... N....

    Lingering taste of tooth paste made the milk go down a bit funny!!

    L.... N....

    +Lisa Nelson I always wondered why he brushed his teeth before eating lol.

    L.... N....

    +chuckobscure My parents ALWAYS do the same thing! It's never made sense to me either...

  57. z.... ....

    PRIMUS FUCKIN SUCKS <3

    z.... ....

    Then go the fuck away!

    z.... ....

    Dave Anderson you realize Primus sucks is their slogan right?Les used to go up on stage while playing and say we're Primus and we suck!Hell,listen to the suck on this album by them and at the end of jellikit he says thanks a lot,we're Primus and we suck!Young padewan,you have much to learn..

    z.... ....

    There's no use, I've been through over 20 Primus videos already, and out of all of them, 98% of people don't understand "Primus Sucks"

  58. F.... H....

    Haha groundhogs

  59. C.... C....

    I want to like it, but it just sucks, hard.

    C.... C....

    let's see you try to play it. I bet you couldn't get one lick off! Les Claypool is the man! NO ONE ON EARTH HAS EVER BEEN OR EVER WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY LIKE HE DOES!!!

    C.... C....

    C.... C....

    M.... W....

    Michael W. This is my favorite album by them.Not one bad song.also I've got the extended version where they have a bonus track called hello skinny+Constantinople which is a residents cover which is equally cool also because they are also a very weird and awesome band

    M.... W....

    Scorpionthe Rulez

    M.... W....

  70. J.... D....

    he's my inspiration to jam on my own bass and DON'T BE A STATUE BASSIST... i am a chick afterall ;)

  71. J.... D....

    Mr. Claypool is one of the few living bassist that can make that puppy sing and even make you( dance to just it's music alone... when the musician dances while jamming a tune, the music comes from the soul and your dancing with that keeping beat foot PRECIOUS JUST PRECIOUS :) keep being u because you inspire me every day to keep playin bass and more (won't go into that here) TRUE ARTIST: LES CLAYPOOL

  72. R.... T....

    Ahhahaha yes sir you have done it. You have made my day.

  73. R.... T....

    Nice name by the way

  74. R.... T....

    Fuck off you mutant offspring of music fans

  75. N.... ....

    I remember this song every time I wake up groggy. It cheers me right up. :)

  76. T.... C....

    Saw these playas play this the other night at High Sierra.
    Nothing's changed. Beautiful people/music.

  77. D.... ....

    Still my all time favorite Primus tune!

  78. e.... g....

    Mr. Claypool, Ive seen you lots but this 3d show you got going on, well I wanna thank you again
    for reminding me why I feel in love with you guys 20 yrs ago and i just want to shake your hand and say THANK YOU for well, making me grin and smile
    and to all those who say whatever, beat it dont like your kind around here boy, I derscribe them to ppl as if rush was on crack and speed = PRIMUS and love it

  79. e.... g....

    hey seen the 3d tour last week, seen then many times over hte last 20 yrs, but this time brought a friend who never seen them before and told her to get ready for your mind to be blown away, well we ate some fungus stuff and for 3 hours my brain melted with visuals, now I ve seen lots of shows before but this one wow, ALL

  80. f.... M....

    Just saw them a couple weeks ago. Fucking crazy show, with the whole 3D tour thing enhancing the shit outa it. I just picked up frizzle fry on vinyl. Listenin to it now and this song came up.. Such a good pick

  81. J.... S....

    That could explain why you have videos of you playing bass.

  82. e.... ....

    tried learning bass here, can't do it... tried learning guitar, picked it up pretty good, now fuck yourself, you couldn't learn either.

  83. B.... J....

    I want to see what you taste like.

  84. w.... ....

    Just saw them in Tucson. ASTOUNDING as ever. Where is your viewing opportunity?

  85. s.... ....

    Your English is fine, don't worry man.

  86. L.... B....

    A wise man once said "you have to be a music expert to appreciate Primus".
    Clearly you know nothing about music.
    Sorry for my bad english.

  87. M.... ....

    Guess he's just jealous of people really capable of. To be quiet honest his band does suck and not in a Primus kind of way. I guess he's just frustrated.

  88. �.... ....

    この曲聴いてプライマスにハマりました!最高♪

    �.... ....

    Exactly.

  89. d.... ....

    Lol what an Idiot.

  90. A.... ....

    Yeah, it's on of these kind of idiot...

  91. B.... A....

    okay, where are you located fella? Your lip is gonna be a in definite funk when i'm done whippin on it

  92. d.... ....

    What;s ironic is that he has videos of himself playing bass on his page.

  93. e.... ....

    Ladies and gentleman, please make way, it appears we have a badass over here.

  94. S.... G....

    That list alone should be reason enough for bassists to never be ridiculed ever.

  95. d.... b....

    dumb fock

  96. a.... ....

    isnt it funny when you are on a video and see some username you recognize
    and they are spewing the exact same shit...

    its Deja-Vu

    peace
