Songdrops Pokey The Porcupine Lyrics

[Chorus]
Pokey the porcupine,
He mostly takes his time.
Doesn't get a lot of hugs but doesn't mind.
Pokey the porcupine.

[Verse 1]
Once, Pokey slipped and rolled down a hill,
Landed upside-down in a marshmallow spill.
He got right up and marched back up the hill,
With a hundred marshmallows stuck to his quills,

So Pokey went to the Honeybear club,
Where bears share the honey they love.
He said, "Hey there, bears, I brought you a snack!"
And they pulled all the marshmallows off of his back.

[Chorus]
Pokey the porcupine,
He mostly takes his time.
Doesn't get a lot of hugs but doesn't mind.
Pokey the porcupine.

[Verse 2]
Once, Pokey saw a big mountain lion,
But that big cat was lying there crying.
Pokey said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Got a splinter in my paw. Don't know what to do."

So Pokey took out one of his quills,
Took out the splinter, said, "Now how do you feel?".
"How can I thank you from my heart?"
"Don't try to eat me is a darn good start!"

[Chorus]
Pokey the porcupine,
He mostly takes his time.
Doesn't get a lot of hugs but doesn't mind.
Pokey the porcupine.

[Verse 3]
Once, Pokey was walking just before dark,
To his favourite tree to eat some bark.
Another porcupine was already there.
A fine porcupine, though he tried not to stare.

"You must be Pokey. I've heard about you.
All the smart and kind things you do. "
They talked a long time and when he got home,
He said, "I think I'm done being alone."

[Chorus]
Pokey the porcupine,
He mostly takes his time.
Now he gets a lot of hugs and doesn't mind.
Pokey the porcupine.
Pokey the porcupine.
