A Handshake Will Do Ray Stevens

Well, I was at the hardware store the other day
You know I'm a big "do-it-yourselfer"
My wife says "I need you to do this"
And I said "do it yourself"
Ha ha, I really didn't say that
Anyway, this time she convinced me to f‌ix a clog in the sink
So I went to the hardware store
I saw a guy there I'd seen a couple times before
And he came up to me and I held out my hand to shake
'Cause I'm a friendly guy like that, but he didn't shake my hand
He came right in and gave me a big hug
And I thought, whoa that's kinda strange
I've only met this fella a couple times before
But he kept huggin' me and it was really weird
Just to be honest with you, and I didn't know what to do

I was purchasing a pipe wrench and a P-trap
When I got bear hugged by a guy I barely know
He hung on a little long
It was awkward, it was wrong
Guys let's stop huggin' when a handshake will do

Now I ain't sayin' it's wrong to show emotion
Kissin' cheeks in France may not be taboo
But in your hometown hardware store
Keep in mind that less is more
Guys let's stop huggin' when a handshake will do
