A Rub and a Tug

Edbo 1967 (Hospital)

Sure wish my Sweetie'd
Come help me sometime

A rub and a tug
A rub and a tug

If you don't come soon
Mama says I'll go blind

A rub and a tug
A rub and a tug

Have you seen my glasses
I think I lost my glasses

Can't keep this up
Else I'll be shaving my palms

A rub and a tug
A rub and a tug

Should put it back in my pants
Where it surely belongs

A rub and a tug
A rub and a tug

So please come home Sweetie
Make it real soon
Can't you see how I miss you
Or must I burst like a balloon
