VERSE/REFRAIN:
There's a prickly merry holiday practice
Decorating a pointy Christmas cactus.
Put a star on the top of the cheery plant
Red and white blooms to enchant.
Be careful not to prick your finger,
Or Santa Claus might not want to linger.
VERSE/REFRAIN:
The cactus buds are a Christmas sign
Of answered prayers in a garden shrine.
Children march into church with the flower,
And gather for a child of light and power.
Be careful not to prick your finger,
Or Santa Claus might not want to linger.
BRIDGE:
Only water it when it’s dry to the touch.
A little bit of water might be too much.
Sunlight grows the beautiful leaves.
Prune it so it’s ready for Christmas Eve!
(GUITAR SOLO)
VERSE/REFRAIN:
Shine it up with electric lights.
Hang silver balls for starry nights.
The cactus is a seasonal favorite.
Ornament galore, so you can savor it!
Be careful not to prick your finger,
Or Santa Claus might not want to linger.
