Words and music Jack Smith

lyrics

Let me be your Backscratcher baby
Let me be your Backscratcher baby
Young or old, poor or rich
I’m the one who can scratch your itch
Let me be your Backscratcher baby

Back in the 60s we all scratched a lot
Nighttime, daytime, every chance we got
Not like in the 50s when they thought scratchin’ was a sin
When two hippies started scratchin’ everybody jumped on in

Let me be your Backscratcher baby
Let me be your Backscratcher baby
North and east, south and west
When it comes to back scratchin’, baby, I’m the best
Let me be your Backscratcher baby

Now if the truth be known scratchin’s always been in vogue
But we waited for the Beatles to do it in the road
Now you can Dust your Broom with your Salty Dog call it anything you please
I’m gonna say backscratchin’, ‘cause that’s how it feels to me

Let me be your Backscratcher baby
Let me be your Backscratcher baby
Backscratchin’ make you feel so fine
I’ll scratch yours if you scratch mine
Let me be your Backscratcher baby
