Intro:
Oh Honey, it’s so funny, the way I feel with you
Start heeding because I’m needing a love that should be true
Your kiss would be a revelation, so put a few into circulation
Stop stalling, begin falling, the way I fell for you!
Hang onto me, hang onto me, I’d like to hang you on my family tree
Oh, we got to get together, Better start in now
You’re over there, and I’m over here, come over closer and lend me your ear
Oh, we got to get together, Better start in now
You’ve run around and never found just what you been lookin' for
Now that you’re here, tell me, how could I ask for more
You got the charms and I’ve got the love. Here in my arms you will fit like a glove
Oh, we got to get together, You better hang onto me!
Hot dogs hang onto mustard, Ham hangs onto eggs
Flies hang onto fly paper, and garters hang onto legs
Salt hangs onto pepper, an oyster hangs around in a stew
Everyone hangs onto somethin’, and I’m gonna hang onto you
Then you can Hang on to me, hang on to me, I’d like to hang you on my family tree
Oh, we got to get together, Better start in now
(Trumpet Chorus) Oh, Mama, you better hang on to me!
