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
