The Hug Song

 
         C 
I want a hug when we say hello 
         F 
I want a hug when it's time to go 
         G 
I want a hug 'cause I want you to know 
    G                  C  G 
I'm awfully fond of you 
         C C/B      Am        Am/G 
I want a hugwhat a wonderful feeling 
       F F/E  Dm7         Dm7/C 
Want a hugto feel you squeezing 
       G 
Want a hugit certainly seems like 
    G7                 C 
The natural thing to do 
 

 
     C 
When I was a little bitty baby child 
   F             G          C 
My momma used to hold me tight 
   C 
My daddy used to come and pick me up 
      D7                G 
When I got scared at night 
    C                       Em 
The years have passed, I've grown so fast 
    Dm            C      G 
And mostly I feel strong 
C                      F 
But timid or bold, I'm never too old 
      G           C     G 
To sing this cozy song 
 

 
         C 
I want a hug when we say hello 
         F 
I want a hug when it's time to go 
         G 
I want a hug 'cause I want you to know 
    G                  C  G 
I'm awfully fond of you 
         C C/B      Am        Am/G 
I want a hugwhat a wonderful feeling 
       F F/E  Dm7         Dm7/C 
Want a hugto feel you squeezing 
       G

C 
Some folks don't like hugging 
F           G           C 
 They think they're too tough 
  C 
I bet they'd be a whole lot friendlier 
      D7                      G 
If they were just hugged enough 
         C                  Em 
When you hug the ones who love you 
    Dm                   C  G 
An amazing thing you learn 
         C               F 
When you give a hug, you just can't help 
    G              C  G 
But get one in return 
 

 
         C 
I want a hug when we say hello 
         F 
I want a hug when it's time to go 
         G 
I want a hug 'cause I want you to know 
    G                  C  G 
I'm awfully fond of you 
         C C/B      Am        Am/G 
I want a hugwhat a wonderful feeling 
       F F/E  Dm7         Dm7/C

C 
Sometimes grownups are grouchy 
         F           G    C 
And they put the blame on you 
C 
Sometimes you make just a little mistake 
           D7                      G 
Though you did the best you could do 
C                 Em 
Sometimes love is everywhere 
    Dm               C   G 
And it's a beautiful day 
    C                 F 
And every time is the perfect time 
    G                 C   G 
To open your arms and say 
 

 
         C 
I want a hug when we say hello 
         F 
I want a hug when it's time to go 
         G 
I want a hug 'cause I want you to know 
    G                  C  G 
I'm awfully fond of you 
         C C/B      Am        Am/G 
I want a hugwhat a wonderful feeling 
       F F/E  Dm7         Dm7/C
