[00:00.00]That Old Back Scratcher (Album Version) - Allan Sherman
[00:05.10]That old back scratcher
[00:07.55]Has me in its spell
[00:10.16]That old back scratcher
[00:12.16]Like the Chinese sell
[00:14.80]Your plastic fingers up
[00:17.24]And down my spine
[00:19.55]The same old itchcraft
[00:21.78]When your touch meets mine
[00:24.39]You tame that tingle
[00:26.63]When I'm all alone;
[00:29.77]For I am single so
[00:32.11]To itch his own
[00:34.53]So down and down you go
[00:36.71]Around and around
[00:37.49]And around you go;
[00:39.53]Scratching my unreachable zone
[00:43.29]I should throw you away
[00:45.45]But I never do;
[00:47.93]I must give in to itchy skin
[00:53.49]A skin with such a burning desire;
[00:57.69]When I'm scratching low
[01:00.14]The itching gets higher
[01:02.87]Oh you're the scrubber
[01:05.24]That placated me
[01:07.90]That chased each place
[01:09.63]That irritated me;
[01:12.59]And then last night
[01:14.32]You broke my heart
[01:17.11]Because I sat down on you
[01:20.24]Two hundred pounds on you
[01:22.42]Then snap crack
[01:24.11]Everything just went black
[01:26.12]My wonderful old back
[01:27.84]Scratcher fell apart
[01:31.10]Yes you broke in half
[01:33.18]And now you're too short;
[01:35.57]I tried Scotch tape
[01:37.71]As a last resort
[01:41.14]But with Scotch tape
[01:42.82]It wasn't the same;
[01:45.33]The thrill that was
[01:46.16]Wild is suddenly tame
[01:50.69]But Old Man Sorrow will not get me down;
[01:55.31]I leave tomorrow night for Chinatown
[02:00.77]Alright I must follow Heaven's plan:
[02:05.02]Around and around I'll go
[02:07.73]Through Chinatown I'll go
[02:10.30]Hoping to find another
[02:11.53]One just like you
[02:13.54]An old Chinese back scratcher
[02:16.17]Made in Japan
