The Hug Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Doctor Dan was a friendly man, big an' round like a bear He hugged his friends, and they hugged him, anytime, anywhere Patients came for therapy, to drive their blues away Sooner or later, they'd feel better, when they heard Dan say (Dan says..) [Chorus] I want a hug (want a hug), when we say hello I want a hug (want a hug), when it's time to go I want a hug! (want a hug) 'Cause everyone knows, huggin's good for you I want a hug (want a hug), It's a wonderful feelin' I want a hug (want a hug), it's part of the healin' I want a hug! (want a hug), 'cause huggin' feels like the natural thing to do [Verse 2] When the boss o' thе hospital heard of this, he was most annoyed Hе said "Hugging is sexual sublimation, according to Doctor Freud You can lock them up, you can hide them away, you can treat them with your drugs You can slap 'em, zap 'em with electric shocks, but you can't give them a hug!" (Dan says..) [Chorus] I want a hug (want a hug), when we say hello I want a hug (want a hug), when it's time to go I want a hug! (want a hug) 'Cause everyone knows, huggin's good for you I want a hug (want a hug), It's a wonderful feelin' I want a hug (want a hug), it's part of the healin' I want a hug! (want a hug), 'cause huggin' feels like the natural thing to do [Verse 3] Well the boss said "Dan you'll have to go, this behaviour is no good" "Any deviation from medical practice can easily get us sued" Now Dan didn't feel to bad for himself, in fact he's kinda proud But he felt sad for the folks inside, where huggin's not allowed (Dan says..) [Chorus] I want a hug (want a hug), when we say hello I want a hug (want a hug), when it's time to go I want a hug! (want a hug) 'Cause everyone knows, huggin's good for you I want a hug (want a hug), It's a wonderful feelin' I want a hug (want a hug), it's part of the healin' I want a hug! (want a hug), 'cause huggin' feels like the natural thing to do I want a hug (want a hug), when we say hello I want a hug (want a hug), when it's time to go I want a hug! (want a hug) 'Cause everyone knows, huggin's good for you I want a hug (want a hug), It's a wonderful feelin' I want a hug (want a hug), it's part of the healin' I want a hug! (want a hug), 'cause huggin' feels like the natural thing to do
