I hugged both Pound and Pumpkin, I hugged Cup and Carrot, too
Then I headed out the door, for I had so much to do
I went to the schoolyard and I hugged Miss Cheerilee
And the foals all caught me by surprise, for they gave hugs to me!
I hugged Mayor Ivory Scroll and the members of her staff
All of them gave me a grin, one or two even laughed
I gave a hug to Macintosh, or at least I tried my best
But he was to big to fit in my hooves, so I just bumped his chest
I hugged Lyra Heartstrings and her companion, sweet Bon Bon
They thanked me for the gift I gave, then I continued on
I tried to hug ol’ Cranky, but he just shook his head
So I asked his sweetheart Matilda to give him a hug instead
I hugged Twilight and I hugged ‘Dash and I hugged Fluttershy
I hugged Applejack and Rarity and they hugged me, Pinkie Pie
Yes, I went through all of Ponyville, gave hugs to one and all
To every pony that I met, ponies both large and small
I gave a hug to everyone, ‘cause it was a holiday
One that I had just created: 'International Hugging Day'!
I like hugging all my friends, it’s just oodles of fun,
And if you pay a visit, I’ll be sure to give you one!
