Introduction:
Porcupine, porcupine up in that tree
How is the porcupine different from me?
Porcupine’s a rodent, like beaver mice and rat
Porcupine has sharp teeth called incisors that’s a fact
Porcupine’s an herbivore it munches plants and bark
Porcupine’s nocturnal it comes out after dark
Chorus:
Porcupine, porcupine quills are so sharp
Porcupine, porcupine comes out after dark
Porcupines have pokey hairs up and down their back
They protect them from the predator that wants a rodent snack
They can’t shoot their quills like many people say
They just turn their back, wave their tail and hide their face
Chorus:
Porcupine, porcupine quills are so sharp
Porcupine, porcupine comes out after dark
I was walking in the forest just the other day
I heard a porcupine talking to himself, this is what he said,
