Why shouldn’t one of them be there,
One of God’s most pretty creatures?
I have some of them in my yard,
They are one of its main features.

I told the preacher right up front,
“No manger scene can be complete
Without one stuck next to the crib,
Right down by Baby Jesus’ feet.”

The whole committee’s mad at me,
I guess ’cause they all voted, “Nay”.
But I just up and went ahead
And stuck one out there anyway.

“Now Josiah,” the pastor said,
“The committee all voted no.
The manger scene is not the place
For a plastic pink flamingo.”
