Nobody Hugs a Hedgehog
Written By Les Barker
I don't think anyone loves me;
They'll talk to me, it's true;
But
do they put their arms around me?
No, they never do.
They're always very friendly
Till we get back to my place;
We'll
share the Emva Cream
But never the embrace.
Nobody hugs a hedgehog;
I'm so lonely every night.
Nobody hugs
a hedgehog;
Nobody holds me tight.
I get along in conversation;
It's the contact that I lack;
No
fingers running through my hair;
No pats upon the back.
No one wants to hold me;
No one fulfils my need;
Everyone
wants to be friendly
But nobody wants to bleed.
Nobody hugs a hedgehog;
It's a tearful little song;
Nobody hugs
a hedgehog;
Not for very long.
It never bothered me before,
But you I really like;
My proper
name is Reginald
But you can call me Spike.
I'm a prickly little person;
I wish I could be blunt.
I'm a softie
at the centre
And my back is just a front.
Nobody hugs a hedgehog;
I never get a squeeze;
Nobody hugs a hedgehog;
Won't
you do it? Please.
