SCRATCH MY BACK (THEN I'LL SCRATCH YOURS)
From the film "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" (1966)
(Bill Giant / Bernie Baum / Florence Kaye)


Elvis Presley & Marianna Hill (Film Soundtrack) - 1966


MARIANNA:
One good turn deserves another
Be my love, I'll be your lover
It's all part of nature's law
If you scratch my back, then I'll scratch yours

If you scratch-a-my back
Then I'll scratch-a-your back
Like two peas in a pack
Let's get rid of our itch together

ELVIS:
Joy they say is in the givin'
Come on, give, make life worth livin'
Your welfare is my concern
Do a favour for me, I'll do one in return

If you scratch-a-my back
Then I'll scratch-a-your back
Like two peas in a pack
Let's get rid of our itch together

MARIANNA:
Scratch me now a little lower
What a feelin', do it slower
That's it, umm, you're getting hot
BOTH:
Well, I gotta admit, you just hit the spot

If you scratch-a-my back
Then I'll scratch-a-your back
Like two peas in a pack
Let's get rid of our itch together

If you scratch-a-my back
Then I'll scratch-a-your back
Like two peas in a pack
Let's get rid of our itch together
