This was a quick write. Half your wood, half your hay is an old saying my father has drilled into my head for all my life. He's still with us, and he still says it. Good measure for mid-winter. For your info I've got half my wood but I'm a little thin on hay.....good news is the freezer has room ; )
Oh, the medicine tetrawhatchamacallit is a drug that speeds up you circulatory system. That one was deep in the rhymezone.
Half your wood and half your hay
You should have on groundhogs day
See what that old rodent say
Can you make it to a warmer day
Januaries come and gone
I can tell it went to long
Waiting for a summer song
Getting through this marathon
The bible says be still my soul
But all mine does is roll, roll, roll
Rolling on out of control
On pentamethylenetetrazol
Bridge
Another storm is rolling in
Means I’ll be drinking my sin
I want to see the melting snow
Not temperature 20 below
Did that rat see anything
Did the people up and sing
I don’t want no winter sting
Tell me when I get my spring

I'm a fan of the film as well, which was why I came here when I was checking your stuff out. I wonder if there's another film-related title/chorus/theme I can use? There's a prompt for everyone. Let the open-ended Matrix skirmish begin, haha.

Absolutely love it! Very connected to the seasons, great vibe, lovely intrusion of the modern world with 'pentamethylenetetrazol' - and that mouth trumpet! And the rat!! :-)))
@whispermouse Feb 2022
THE TRUMPET. Perfect. Lovely old-timey feel - great take on the challenge.
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nice write: the chorus is perfect for the day, and the mouth trumpet put a smile on my face.

Fun peppy tune and delivery. I like your dad's slogan. We had negative 17 this morning so the bridge spoke to me. The "instrumental" was fun after the bridge!
@scubed Feb 2022
Delightful, upbeat song about winter’s woes! Your dad’s old saying is a wonderful lyrical hook. I got a big grin on my face listening to this.
@liz561 Feb 2022
Really love your vocals on this!! (my song also called the groundhog a rat! LOL)
@sheslin Feb 2022
What a jaunty fun song to sum up how most of us feel on Groundhog's Day. Wonderful performance and an enjoyable listen. The mouth trumpet was the perfect addition!
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Love this. Fantastic lyrics and delivery. Sounds like a kazoo but I think it's just YOU! Awesome.
I'd try to cover your song but I'd be afraid to try to sing "pentamethylenetetrazol".

Love the old time feel of this with your vocal position! Love that saying too, and that you can associate it so strongly with your dear old Dad. Mouth trumpet for the win! A real classic!
