Rub Somebody The Right Way

I knew a man who came down from Kentucky
Everyone would whisper "Boy he sure is lucky"
He'd go to church every Sunday & have breakfast at Stuckey's
He rubbed somebody the right way

All I'm asking for you to do is live by this simple creed I give to you
Just take five minutes out of your day & rub somebody the right way

I knew a woman who could act like a girl
She held the secret for peace in this world
She'd stand on a porch with a baton she'd twirl
Singing "Rub somebody the right way"

All I'm asking for you to do is live by this simple creed I give to you
Just take five minutes out of your day & rub somebody the right way

Now I know there's times you're frustrated & low
You'd like a shotgun to shoot down your foe
You swam with your sorrows, but both of you drowned
So tighten your seatbelt & wipe off that frown

All I'm asking for you to do is live by this simple creed I give to you
Just take five minutes out of your day & rub somebody the right way

Time passes quick you know how it goes
You could open your arms you could turn up your nose
You'll have much more fun if you make peace with your foes
And rub somebody the right way

All I'm asking for you to do is live by this simple creed I give to you
Just take five minutes out of your day & rub somebody the right way

All I'm asking for you to do is live by this simple creed I give to you
Just take five minutes out of your day & rub somebody the right way
Got to rub somebody the right way
