[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 their 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?"
"I got a splinter in my paw, don't know what to do"

So Pokey pulled 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
He mostly takes his time
Now he gets a lot of hugs and doesn't mind
Pokey the Porcupine
