Next time I see you, I'll give you a hug.
This is from my Uncle Bruce, who got the lyrics from a Mary Miche CD "Earthy Tunes" but thinks it's originally from The Banana Slug String Band. What a great name!! Thanks Bruce!

My advice: don't hug that banana slug. I have a friend that accidentally stepped on one and it squirted all the way up her leg, so it's best to be very careful.

Thanks for the lyrics! Very funny!!
