Lyrics
- There’s a tax on this, there’s a tax on that
And it’s getting worse each day
Oh, the cost of living’s high
And the whole darn country’s dry
Oh, we can’t buy this and we can’t buy that
‘Cause we can’t afford to pay
But they can’t stop you from loving
In the good old fashioned way
Chorus:
Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up
It’s the only thing to do
Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up
Any time you’re feeling blue
If there’s no wine in the cellar
And you must drink Sarsaparilla
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Why should you care
When you’ve got your sweetie there
Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up
Steal a little hug and squeeze
Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up
If it’s cold you’ll never freeze
With two arms enfolding you
Eyes that thrill you through and through
You’d be surprised what they can do
Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up
- If you sometimes find something’s on your mind
And it worries you each day
Find a cozy morris chair
One that hold a loving pair
When your sweetie dear, starts to snuggle near
Love will always find a way
You can tell her lots of things
You never had the nerve to say
