1. Now when I was a-growin' up I was a pip,
D7 G
I growed me a mustache on my lip.
G D
It wasn't very sticky, mostly
fuzz,
D7 G
thought
I'd give all the girls a buzz.
G D
I got real sweet on Nellie
Wills,
D7 G
I drove that country girl back
in the hills.
G D
I asked her once if I could
give her a peck.

If'n
you can beat me to the old hay stack !
G D
Well, I beat her there and I
hugged her tight,
D7 G
I turned loose all of my
dynamite.
G D
I guess my kiss was pretty
lush,
D7 G
she
smiled real big and began to blush.
G C
It tickles, it tickles !
G D7
G
I like it, but it sure feels funny, it's a ticklin'
me.
G D
2. Oh, I got me a name in the neighbourhood,
D7 G
the
girls all liked it, I knew they would.
G D
I let it grow for a month or
two,
D7
G
just
to see what I could do.
G D
There was a girl named Fanny
Smith,
D7 G
told
me, she didn't like to kiss.
G D
Well, I caught her off guard
and I didn't miss.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I didn't know it'd feel like this !
G D
Well, her eyes bugged out, her
face turned white,
D7 G
she
hugged me up with all her might.
G D
I swear it took her breath
away,
D7 G
she
giggled and I heard her say :
G
C
It tickles, it tickles !
G D7 G
You sure are a lot of fun, it's a ticklin' me !
+ G - D - D7 - G (2x) + G - C - G - D7 - G

3. Well, I guess I pert'near
run 'em wild,
D7 G
they
all went crazy over my style.
G D
They said I was the best
around,
D7 G
the kissinest man they'd ever found.
G D
The good ol'
days are here again,
D7 G
I used to do it and I still
can.
G D
Said a widder
that I know :
- - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I guess you'll never get too old !
G D
Well, I guess I got that ol' know-how,
D7 G
you
ought to see me in action now.
G D
My kiss has still got that ol' sting,
D7 G
the widder says I ain't lost a thing.
G C
It tickles, it tickles !
G
D7 G
I feel just like I'm young again, it's a ticklin'
me !
