Now when I was a-growing up, I was a pip
I rode me a mustache on my lip
It wasn't very sticky, mostly fuzz
Thought I'd give all the girls a buzz
I got real sweet on Nellie Wills
I rode up country gal back in the hills
I asked her once if I could give her a peck
If you can beat me to the old haystack
Well, I beat her there and I hugged her tight
I turned loose all of my dynamite
I guess my kiss was pretty lush
She smiled real big and began to blush
It tickles, it tickles
I like it, but it sure feels funny
It's a tickle in me
Oh, I got me a name in the neighborhood
The gals all liked it, I knew they would
I let it grow for a month or two
Just to see what I could do
There was a gal named Fanny Smith
Told me she didn't like a kiss
I caught her off guard and I didn't miss
I didn't know it'd feel like this
Well, her eyes bugged out, her face turned white
She hugged me and I hugged her
She picked me up with all her might
I swear it took her breath away
She giggled and I heard her say
It tickles, it tickles
You sure are a lot of fun
It's a tickle in me
Well, I guess I put an ear on them wild
They all went crazy over my style
They said I was the best around
The kissin'est man they'd ever found
The good old 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 got that old know-how
You ought to see me in action now
My kiss has still got that old sting
The widder says I ain't lost a thing
It tickles, it tickles
It tickles, it tickles
I feel just like I'm young again
It's a tickle in me
