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 sexual sublimation

According to Doctor Freud.

You can beat 'em down, you can hide 'em away,

You can keep 'em quiet with drugs,

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 passed, 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
