The next day was Valentine's Day, and Clementine had invited Huck and all of his friends to join her for a big Valentine party! Yogi Bear was there with Cindy Bear and Boo-Boo, and so were Snagglepuss and Lila. Quick Draw McGraw was there with Baba Looey, along with Magilla Gorilla, Wally Gator, Chopper and Yakky Doodle, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy and so many of their other friends. Even Huck's old friend Desert Flower showed up!

There were all sorts of treats, such as heart-shaped cookies, heart-shaped lollipops, cupcakes with pink frosting, and some strawberry punch! There were love songs and all sorts of wonderful kinds of music playing as everyone got up to dance. Clementine then stood up to make an announcement.

"And now, everyone, as a special treat, my special someone would like to provide some quality entertainment! Take it away, Huckleberry!"

"Okay!" Huck said. He then headed over to the center of the room, and said, "This song is for all of you, including my special someone. It's a song that has been with the Hound family for generations."

Huck then turned on the record player and took the microphone into his paw as he began to sing.

"I'm not one of the greedy kind,

All of my wants are simple

I know what's on my mind

I'm not resting until I find

What would make your eyes glisten with joy

Now listen, big boy

I wanna be loved by you, just you

And nobody else but you

I wanna be loved by you, alone!

Boop-boop-a-doop!

I wanna kissed by you, just you

Nobody else but you

I wanna be kissed by you, alone!

I couldn't aspire

To anything higher

Than, filled with desire

To make you my own!

Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!

I wanna be loved by you, just you

And nobody else but you

I wanna be loved by you, alone!"

He then got to the dance break, as he grabbed his cane, and started dancing around the room. He put his arm around Clementine and spun her, then leaned in close to her and smiled as he began the next part of the song with a bright smile on his face.

"I wanna be held by you, just you

And nobody else but you

I wanna be held by you, alone!

Boop-boop-a-doop!

I wanna hugged by you, just you

Nobody else but you

I wanna be hugged by you, alone!

Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire

To anything higher

Than, filled with desire

To make you my own!

Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!
