PERCY THE PUNY POINTSETTA
Elmo & Patsy


Percy The Puny Pointsetta
Hanging his gloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta,
He'd be a houseplant today
Homes like the other pointsettas,
Now he's alone on the shelf.
Even a plant with no uncles or aunts
Shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself!!

Holiday shoppers who stop at the counter
And picked out a plant to take home
One at a time all of his friends
Where adopted til'
Percy was left all alone!

Percy the Puny Pointsetta
Hanging his gloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a housplant today
Homes like the other pointsettas,
Now he's alone on the shelf.
Even a houseplant with no uncles or aunts
Shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself!!

Then into the shop on the day before Christmas
Came a poor little girl who was crying
But when she saw Percy
Her eyes opened wide and she said,
"Can I please make him mine?"

Now Percy The Puny Pointsetta
Is standing beside Mr. Tree
His leaves have never been redda
He's as proud as a flower can be
Somebody made him feel betta
Rescued him off the shelf

Even a plant with no uncles or aunts
Should spend Christmas day by himself!!
Even a plant with no uncles or aunts
Should spend Christmas day by himself!!
