IT'S WONDROUS WHAT A HUG CAN DO.
A HUG CAN CHEER YOU WHEN YOU'RE BLUE.
A HUG CAN SAY, "I LOVE YOU"
OR, "I HATE TO SEE YOU GO."

A HUG IS "WELCOME BACK AGAIN,"
AND "GREAT TO SEE YOU, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"
A HUG CAN SOOTHE A SMALL CHILD PAIN,
AND BRING A RAINBOW AFTER RAIN

KITTENS CRAVE THEM, PUPPIES LOVE THEM;
HEAD OF STATES ARE NOT ABOVE THEM.
A HUG CAN BREAK THE LANGAUGE BARRIER,
AND MAKE TRAVEL SO MUCH MERRIER.

A HUG, THERE'S JUST NO DOUBT ABOUT IT..
WE SCARCELY COULD SURVIVE WITHOUT IT!
A HUG DELIGHTS AND WARMS AND CHARMS,
IT MUST BY WHY GOD GAVE US ARMS.

HUGS ARE GREAT FOR FATHERS AND MOTHERS,
SWEET FOR SISTERS, SWELL FROM BROTHERS;
AND CHANCES ARE YOUR FAVORITE AUNTS
LOVE THEM MORE THAN POTTED PLANTS.

NO NEED TO FRET ABOUT YOUR STORE OF 'EM;
THE MORE YOU GIVE THERE'S MORE OF 'EM
SO STRETCH THOSE ARMS WITHOUT DELAY
AND GIVE SOMEONE A HUG TODAY!
