Yeah yeah now this song is a warning yes folks a warnin' against the danger

A very very economy a social fibre mortal turpitude haha national security

And friends the danger is not it is not the long hairs

And it is not the warmongers all the squares all the truckusers all the fuss

Friends the danger the real danger is thumbsuckers

Yes you heard me my friends I think thumbsucker

And every time every time you make a peace sign with your fingers

And every time you push a door bell

And every time you're on highway stick your thumb

There's always there in the shadows some dirty sneaky thumbsucker

Who will leap out upon you grab your wrist

And start to suck your thumb drainin' all your natural thumbjuices

And leavin' you hopeless heartless a shakin' quiverin' crawlin' slaverin'

Thumbsuckin' addict for the rest of your unusual life



That's why I ain't gonna let no thumbsucker suck my thumb

It'll drive you crazy and leave you deaf and dumb

It'll make you crawl and climb the wall and leave you without no thumb at all

I ain't gonna let no thumbsucker suck my thumb



Met her on a corner in Deluth and that's truth

She was tryin' to fix her shoe in a telephone booth her name was Ruth

She said she was just waiting for a bus

But I hid my thumb cause I knew just what she was

Uhh I ain't gonna let no...

[ piano - guitar ]

I'll tell you what them thumbsuckers like to do

They suck your thumb till it's wrinkled like a prune

They'll say you've got the sweetest thumb of all they say

But then they suck the thumb of the guy livin' down the hall

That's why I ain't gonna let no...

Suck my thumb suck my thumb suck my thumb suck my thumb
