Percy the puny Poinsettia
Hanging his bloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetter
He'd be a houseplant today
Folks liked the other plants better
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
Holiday shoppers would stop at the counter
And pick out a plant to take home
One at a time, all his friends were adopted
Until Percy was left all alone
Percy the puny Poinsettia
Hanging his bloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetter
He'd be a houseplant today
Folks liked the other plants better
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
Then into the shop on the day before Christmas
Came a poor little girl who was cryin'
But when she saw Percy her eyes opened wide
And she said, "Can I please make him mine?"
Now Percy the puny Poinsettia
Is standing beside Mr. Tree
His leaves have never been redder
He's as proud as a flower can be
Somebody made him feel better
Rescued him off of the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
