Lyrics

Scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
Oh, we went out to a party
It was me and Ben and Mac
And before I know what happen
I get an itching on me back
Won't someone scratch, scratch me back?
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
Well, I was quite embarrassed
'Til my two friends I did see
Well, they were madly itching
And they were screaming louder than me
Oh, won't you scratch, scratch me back?
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
Once again, now
Scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
Now, this scratching was contagious
And it didn't take very long
Everybody there was itching
As they join me in this song
Why won't you scratch, scratch me back?
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
Charlie got a
Once again now
Well, the host got excited
Picked up the phone in haste
Quickly dialed a number
And said, "Man, come spray this place"
Everybody scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
A little softer
Scratch, scratch me back (baby backbone)
Scratch, scratch me back (baby shoulder)
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
Everybody now
Scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch
