It Tickles

[ with Bonnie Owens ] Well when I was a growin' up I was a pip I growed me a mustache on my lip It wasn't very sticky mostly fuzz I thought I'd give all the girls a buzz I got real sweet on a nellie wills I drove that country girl back in the hills I asked her once if I could give her a peck She said (if you can beat me to the old hay stack) Well I beat her there and I hugged her tight I turned loose all of my dynamite I swear my kiss was a pretty lush She smiled real big and begin to blush (It tickles It tickles I like it but it sure feels funny) It's a ticklin' me Well I got me a name in the neighborhood The girls all liked me I knew they would I let it grow for a month or two Just to see what I could do There was a girl named Fanny Smith Told me she didn't like to kiss I caught her off guard and I didn't miss (I didn't know it would feel like this) Well her eyes bugged out and her face turned white She helped me out with all of her might I swear it took her breath away She giggled and I heard her say (It tickles It tickles I like it but it sure feels funny) It's a ticklin' me [ guitar ] Well now I guess I pert'near run 'em wild They all went crazy over my style Said I was the best around The kissinest man they'd ever found The good ol' days are here again I used to do it and I still can Said a widder that I know (I guess you'll never get too old) Well I guess I've got that ol' knowhow You ought to see me in action now My kiss has still got that ol' zing The widder said I ain't lost a thing (It tickles It tickles I feel just like I'm numb again) It's a ticklin' me
