Fred Small - The Hug lyrics

Dan Murrow is a mighty friendly man He's big and round like a bear He hugs his friends and his friends hug him Anytime, anywhere. His patients would come for therapy To drive their blues away And sooner or later they'd feel a lot better Cause this is what he'd say: CHORUS: I want a hug when we say hello I want a hug when it's time to go I want a hug 'cause I want you to konw I'm awfully fond of you. I want a hug--what a wonderful feeling I want a hug--to feel you squeezing I want a hug--it certainly seems like The natural thing to do! But when the head of the hospital heard about it He got all annoyed Cause hugging is s**ual sublimation According to Doctor Freud. You can beat 'em down, you can hide 'em away, You can keep 'em quiet with d**, You can strap 'em and zap 'em with electroshock But you better not give 'em a hug. CHORUS So the boss says, "Dan, clean out your desk-- Your conduct is lax and lewd. Any deviation from standard medical Practice can get us sued." Now, Dan don't feel too bad for himself He's really kind of proud. But he's sorry for the people who are locked away Where hugging ain't allowed. CHORUS (for kids) CHORUS When I was a little bitty baby child, my momma used to hold me tight My daddy used to come and pick me up when I got scared at night The years have pa**ed, I've grown so fast, and mostly I feel strong But timid or bold, I'm never too old to sing this cozy song. CHORUS Now some folks don't like hugging--they think they're too tough I bet they'd be a whole lot friendlier if they were just hugged enough When you hug the ones who love you, an amazing thing you learn When you give a hug, you just can't help but get one in return! CHORUS Sometimes grownups are grouchy and they put the blame on you Sometimes you make just a little mistake though you did the best you could do Sometimes love is everywhere and it's a beautiful day And every time is the perfect time to open your arms and say: CHORUS
