Percy, The Puny Poinsettia
[Chorus]
G
Percy the puny poinsettia
G D
Is hanging his bloom in dismay
D7
If they had just kept him wetta
D7 G
He'd be a houseplant today
G
Folks liked the other plants betta
G7 C
Now he's alone on the shelf
C G
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
D D7 G G7
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
[Verse 1]
C G
Holiday shoppers would stop by the counter
D D7 G G7
And pick up a plant to take home
C G
Until one by one all his friends were adopted
A D
And Percy was left all alone
[Chorus]
G
Percy the puny poinsettia
G D
Is hanging his bloom in dismay
D7
If they had just kept him wetta
D7 G
He'd be a houseplant today
G
Folks liked the other plants betta
G7 C
Now he's alone on the shelf
C G
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
D D7 G G7
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
[Verse 2]
C G
Then into the store on the night before Christmas
D D7 G G7
Came a poor little girl who was cryin'
C G
But when she saw Percy her eyes opened wide
A D
And she said "Can I please make him mine?"
[Chorus]
G
Now Percy the puny poinsettia
G D
Is standing beside Mr. Tree
D7
His leaves have never been redda,
D7 G
He's as proud as a flower can be
G
Somebody made him feel betta,
G7 C
Rescued him off of the shelf
C G
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
D D7 G
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
[Outro]
C G
Oh, Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
D D7 G
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
