lyrics

I ONCE HEARD A DR. SAY THE BEST WAY TO MAKE THE BLUES GO AWAY
IS TO FIND SOMEONE YOU LOVE & GET A GREAT BIG HUG
THEN SHE WENT ON TO SAY THAT HUGGING CAN BE HEALTHY
SAID THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF REASONS & THEY WERE ALWAYS IN SEASON
LET ME TELL YOU FRIENDS THAT I AIN’T LYING WHEN I SAY I AIN’T AFRAID OF DYING
I’VE GOT TO LIVE WHILE I’M HERE & I AIN’T GOING TO LIVE IN FEAR

SO I THOUGHT THAT WE COULD START THE HUGGING IS HEALTHY CAMPAIGN
AND IF IT WORKS THEN THE LITTLE GUYS WON THIS GAME…
LET’S BE SMART ABOUT THIS SCARE- LIKE WE'RE ENTERING A SCIENCE FAIR
LOOK THE WORLD AROUND & SEE WHAT WORKED OUT & WHAT WENT SOUTH
IT AIN'T ABOUT A VOTE & IT AIN’T NO JOKE! SO GO FIND SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT & HUG IT OUT...YOU CAN THANK ME LATER

COME ON EVERYBODY LET’S SING ALONG TO A SONG OF TOGETHERNESS
’CAUSE THERE'S SOME OF YOU I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I’VE MISSED
COME ON EVERYBODY LET’S SING ALONG IN CASE ANYONE ASKS
THERE’S A SMILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS MASK
COME ON EVERYBODY LET’S SING ALONG TO A SONG ABOUT REAL LOVE
WHEN I CAN- GONNA GIVE YA A BIG BEAR HUG
COME ON EVERYBODY LET'S SING ALONG JUST BECAUSE WE CAN
SHARE A HUG ALL ACROSS THIS LAND

IF YOU'RE SICK STAY HOME, I GET IT
THEY SAY THERE'S A LOT OF BENEFITS
HUGS PROTECT US FROM STRESS AND INFECTION
HERE'S A FEW MORE THINGS I'LL MENTION
A LACK OF SEROTONIN CAN CAUSE DEPRESSION
HUGS ARE ESSENTIAL TO A CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT
CALMS YOUR HEART & BEATS IN TUNE
JUST A FEW THINGS A LITTLE HUG CAN DO

COME ON EVERYBODY LET’S SING ALONG TO A SONG OF TOGETHERNESS
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S SOME OF YOU I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I’VE MISSED
COME ON EVERYBODY LET’S SING ALONG IN CASE ANYONE ASKS
THERE’S A SMILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS MASK
COME ON EVERYBODY LET’S SING ALONG TO A SONG ABOUT REAL LOVE
WHEN I CAN I’M GONNA GIVE YA A BIG BEAR HUG
COME ON EVERYBODY LET'S SING ALONG JUST BECAUSE WE CAN
SHARE A HUG ALL ACROSS THIS LAND
