Lyrics Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte

Scratch, Scratch

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 itchin' 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

'Till 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

Scratch, scratch me back

Scratch, scratch me back

It really is a fact

The less I itch, the more I scratch

Now dis scratching was contagious

And it didn't take very long

Everybody dere was itching

As they join me in dis song

I want you

Scratch, scratch me back

Scratch, scratch me back

It really is a fact

The less I itch, the more I scratch

Well de host he got excited

Picked up de phone in haste

Quickly dialed a number

And said "Man come spray dis 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 (by de backbone)

Scratch, scratch me back (by de 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
