Exceptionally well done children's song, very well written, composed, performed, produced. Love it! You're fulfilling a very important purpose to introduce young people to the arts.

oh I like the starting of this song and of course the whole theme of this is wonderful subject of this family thing!
This takes me back to childhood when the aunts would come over for the holidays and squeeze you to death.
I didn't mind the slobbering lipstick kisses so much but that perfume was so strong I would have to go outside and roll around in the grass to get some of it off!!!

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!
