It Tickles - Buck 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

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
