Lyrics
CHORUS:
Hug a bug a boo. I?m a huggin? you.
Hug a bug a bee. You?re a huggin? me.
H-U-G I like hugs. (Snug as a bug in a rug) (Repeat)
I wish you knew my grandma; Nana was her name.
Nana was the Queen of Hugs; that was her claim to fame.
She?d wrap her arms around me, and squeeze me really tight.
And when she fin?lly finished, my cheeks were red instead of white. CHORUS
Come to my family party and see the hug-a-thon.
Aunts and uncles, cousins, they hug me one by one.
I don?t know how we ever got to eat our manicotti.
?Cuz in walk three more relatives; they?re gonna hug my little body.
CHORUS
Now I have a family; I?ve got two kids of my own.
Young?uns raised on huggin; that?s how our love has grown.
Someday I?ll be a grandma, with loving arms that squeeze
And all my little munchkins, they?re gonna get some hugs from me!
CHORUS
