13. Scratch My Hide!

The lion was under an itchy attack,
Unable to scratch at a spot on his back.
He was jumpin' and spinnin' at feverin pitch,
But he couldn't get rid of that terrible itch!

He was doing his dance with his back to a tree,
And soon he was joined by a chimpanzee.
They were jumping and spinning at a feverin pitch,
In a dance that was started by a terrible itch!

They were stampin their feet while turning around,
And shakin to the beat of the scratchin sounds.
Their paws on their backs, one high and one low,
And moving their scratchers as fast as they could go.

The lion said, "Better with three,
They'll be scratching on you while you're scratching on me,
At the same time I will scratch them too,
We'll all feel better and will have fun too!"!

They called to a monkey to join in the dance,
Soon all of the jungle was wantin' a chance,
At jumping and spinning at a feverin pitch,
In a dance that was started by a terrible itch!

They were stampin their feet while turning around,
And shakin to the beat of the scratching sounds!
Their paws on their backs, one high and one low,
And movin their scratchers as fast as they could go.

They scratched up high they scratched down low,
From the top of their heads to the tips of their toes.
They scratched their belly, they scratched their nose,
And they did back scratching fast as they could go.

Now scratch up high, now scratch down low,
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Now scratch your belly, now scratch your nose,
now do back scratching fast as you can go.

Around in a circle, all in single file,
shakin' and scratchin' and a spinnin' all the while!

Now scratch up high, now scratch down low,
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Now scratch your belly, now scratch your nose,
now do back scratching fast as you can go.

Around in a circle, all in single file,
shakin' and scratchin' and a spinnin' all the while!
This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
SCRATCH MY HIDE...
