Itchin' for a Scratch

Itchin' for a scratch

Itchin' for a scratch

It's an itch that you got to catch

Itchin' for a scratch

Itchin', Itchin', Itchin' for a scratch

I woke up this morning itchin' bad

I wanted to scratch, I was going mad

Went to the doctor said, "help me please"

He just shook his head and said to me

"You're in trouble son, I know for sure

'Cause what you got there ain't no cure

So take this beat go home and scratch

But stay away from me, 'cause it's easy to catch"

Itchin' for a scratch

It's a fever penicillin can't match

Itchin' for a scratch

Itchin', itchin, 'itchin' for a scratch

So I left the doctor, walked down the street

Scratching myself to that funky beat

Everybody I passed, they stared at me

And they started itchin' with the same disease

Soon the itchin' was spreading all over town

With all that scratchin' folks really got down

The way they were acting was really outrageous

The Doc was right, this itch is contagious

Itchin' for a scratch

It's an itch that you got to catch

Itchin' for a scratch

Itchin', itchin', itchin' for a scratch

Itch-scratch, itch-scratch, itch-scratch, itch-scratch

Well the itchin' caught on in every nation

People scratched all over to the funk sensation

In China, Japan and Russia too

In Germany in Egypt even Kalamazoo

They all learned to scratch 'cause they had to itch

If they didn't like the funk, they made the switch

They itched on subway, they scratched on the trains

When that dancing fever went straight to the brain

Itchin' and a scratchin'

Scratchin' and a scritchin'

Movin' and a groovin' til my body starts twitchin'

Well blow me down

I can't stop rockin' to the funky sound

So stands back Oyles and let's be finished

While I chill out with a can of spinach

Itch-scratch, itch-scratch, itch-scratch, itch-scratch
