Gus Keeps Scratching

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down by the stand in the morning air Pennsylvania tickets piled up there Gus pops up from a little green hill Tiny paws, big grin, steady and still He eyes that card like he knows the score One scratch, then two, then he wants more [Pre-Chorus] He taps that coin, says, “Watch me go” Little brown paws in a fast little show Crowd leans in when he starts that spin You can hear the whole place sing with him [Chorus] Keep on scratching, Gus Keep on scratching, Gus Pennsylvania’s got that luck for us Keep on scratching, Gus Keep on scratching, Gus (keep on scratching) He’s the groundhog everybody trusts [Verse 2] Under the awning, rain on the tin Gus finds the silver, grinning again He scratches off stars, he scratches off gold He scratches so fast, never gets old Kids all cheer when the numbers glow Mama says, “Boy, he puts on a show” [Pre-Chorus] He taps that coin, says, “Watch me go” Little brown paws in a fast little show Crowd leans in when he starts that spin You can hear the whole place sing with him [Chorus] Keep on scratching, Gus Keep on scratching, Gus Pennsylvania’s got that luck for us Keep on scratching, Gus Keep on scratching, Gus (keep on scratching) He’s the groundhog everybody trusts [Bridge] From Philly blocks to the mountain side His slogan rolls like a victory ride One more ticket, one more chance Gus does that lucky little scratch dance (keep on scratching) Yeah, he knows what to say [Chorus] Keep on scratching, Gus Keep on scratching, Gus Pennsylvania’s got that luck for us Keep on scratching, Gus Keep on scratching, Gus (keep on scratching) He’s the groundhog everybody trusts
