Hey, homies (what's up?)
What was that? (clap, clap)
We don't need no thugs
Unless those thugs was giving out hugs
Hey, ladies (what's up?)
What was that? (say what?)
We don't need no thugs
Unless those thugs was giving out hugs

Here we go again my friends
Wave your hands from side to side
Raise the roof we call the sky
There's a special way to show that we care
Is there anybody out there? (I am) (Me too)
I'm talking about hugs
H-U-G-S, hugs!

Hey, homies (what's up?)
What was that? (clap, clap)
We don't need no thugs
Unless those thugs was giving out hugs
Hey, ladies (what's up?)
What was that? (say what?)
We don't need no thugs
Unless those thugs was giving out hugs

So where's my ladies at? (what you want? I'm here)
And where’s my dudes at? (uh.. here?)
Now sisters and brothers
Let's turn and face each other
And put your arms out nice and wide
Rock that hug from side to side (we be hugging)
Now give a hug to the right (we be hugging)
And give a hug to the left (we be hugging)
Now 360 hug (wee!)
And sing it, thugs

Hey, homies (what's up?)
What was that? (clap, clap)
We don't need no thugs
Unless those thugs was giving out hugs
Hey, ladies (what's up?)
What was that? (say what?)
We don't need no thugs
Unless those thugs was giving out hugs

'H' is for homeys
Hugging home girls who is hot
'U' is for you, my bro
Can I get a hug or not?
'G' is for…good… hug… guy?
'Cos hugs are nature's sticky glue
They form a bond you can't undo
So wrap your arms around this fun
So many hugs can be done
They can be done
Like the Bro Hug
The Sandwich Hug
The Zombie Hug
The T-rex Hug
A Robot Hug
The Awkward Hug
The Bear Hug
And the Group Hug
