Lyrics Grand Old Ivy - Frank Loesser

Grand Old Ivy

FINCH
Groundhog!
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
And you’re down there at the bottom of the heap
FINCH
Down at the bottom of the heap
Where the mud is oh so very, very deep
FINCH
Down where it’s very, very deep
Don’t forget 'twas
BOTH
That’s why they call us
They call us:
Groundhog!
Groundhog!
Groundhog!
Groundhog!
Rip, rip, rip the Chipmunk
FINCH
Stand Old Ivy
Stand firm and strong
BOTH
Grand Old Ivy
Hear the cheering throng
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!
Stimulating, most stimulating
Shall we do it one more time?
FINCH
Why not?
FINCH
Groundhog!
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
