about

Justin wrote "Scratchin' Post" while on a trip with his wife to Vancouver Island, B.C., where they were having an adventure and picking up their new cat, Benedict Blue-bean The Mythical (Benny for short).

This song is about helping out the one you love.

lyrics

HEY HEY HEY MY SWEET MAMA
WON’T YA THROW THIS DOG A BONE?
YA KNOW I JUST CAN’T WAIT TO BE A-ROLLIN’ HOME
BACK TO YOU MY SWEET MAMA
YA MAKE MY TAIL WAG
OH YA MAKE ME HOWL YOU’RE THE ZIG TO MY ZAG

WHEN YA GOT THAT ITCH THAT YAJUST CAN’T REACH
HEE HEE HEE HEE
SCOOTCH ON OVER AND LEAVE IT WITH ME
ZOO BA DA BA BA MP BA
WHEN YA WAN’T THAT ITCH TO BE TOAST
UH LET ME BE YER SCRATCHIN’ POST

HEY HEY HEY MY SWEET MAMA
I AIN’T COPPIN’ A BIT
YA KNOW THIS OL’ DOG AIN’T GONNA STRAY OR SPLIT
NOT ON YOU MY SWEET MAMA
YA MAKE ME WELL YOU KNOW
I JUST WANNA BE YER DADDIO

WHEN YA GOT THAT ITCH THAT YAJUST CAN’T REACH
HEE HEE HEE HEE
SCOOTCH ON OVER AND LEAVE IT WITH ME
ZOO BA DA BA BA MP BA
WHEN YA WAN’T THAT ITCH TO BE TOAST
UH LET ME BE YER SCRATCHIN’ POST
SCRATCH IT HIGH SCRATCH IT LOW
SCRATCH IT WHEREVER YA ITCH THE MOST
LAY IT BACK JELLY ROLL
UH LET ME BE YER SCRATCHIN’ POST
ZOO BA DA BA BA MP BA
ZOO BA DA BA BA MP BA
ZOO BA DA BA BA MP BA BA MP BA
WHEN YA WAN’T THAT ITCH TO BE TOAST
UH LET ME BE YER SCRATCHIN’ POST
