The hug heard round the world, it was
But Scotty Van D didn’t know
When the leader of the free world
Stopped by his pizza joint
Where his uplifting message would go.
The hug wasn’t planned
Wasn’t cleared by the
prez
And even Secret Service was surprised
They saw teddy bear man
Caught up in the moment
And stood down
While they watched their boss rise.
The hug brought a smile
To the people who saw
And the photo and the man were a hit
When Scotty Van D made the rounds
Of the media circus
We wondered if his head would still fit.
Coming back to Fort Pierce
Through the pizza joint’s door
Scotty brought his fame and his joy
But he shared all his bear hugs
Like he’d always done before
With every friend
Every girl, every boy.
Fame wasn’t all roses
With Election Day approaching
The far right feared
A positive press.
Still our Scotty took the high road
(I’d like to think it’s my road)
And delivered pizza pie to the rest.
