Cactus Song: Never Hug the Cactus!

#cactus #sciencesongs #botanySongs
A fun song I wrote for my elementary science students to help introduce some facts about cacti- and please don't hug or kiss the cacti!!!!
LYRICS:
You should never kiss a cactus,
It really hurts your lips,
Never kiss a cactus,
It’s one of Momma’s tips!
You should never kiss a cactus,
KISS
It really hurts your lips,
Never kiss a cactus,
KISS
It’s one of Momma’s tips!

Cactus, cactus,
I can tell you this,
Likes the desert, likes the sun,
But isn’t good to kiss!
Cactus, cactus,
What’s it all about?
Can store some water right inside,
Doesn’t mind a drought!
(That means there’s no rain for a long time)

Well you should Never hug a cactus,
It’ll hurt too much,
Those spiny little cacti,
Aren’t good to touch!
Well you should Never hug a cactus,
It’ll hurt too much,
Those spiny little cacti,
Aren’t good to touch!

Cactus, cactus,
Might be good for bugs,
They make flowers in the sun,
But don’t deserve my hugs!
Cactus, cactus,
Leaves have turned to spine,
A special type of plant we see,
A SUCCULENT design!

(succulents are plants that can store water!)

Today I kissed the cactus,
I thought it would be cool,
Now my lips are aching,
I won’t be there at school!
Today I kissed the cactus,
KISS
I thought it would be cool,
Now my lips are aching,
KISS
I won’t be there at school!
