Oh look out now
Just between the shoulders
Here it comes -- the spine
Oh look out now
Just between your shoulders
The spine surfs alone
Good times
Oh look out now
Just between your shoulders
What will cure you?
Bacitracin
Campho-phenique
Calamine lotion
Nothing's gonna help you now
The spine surfs alone
So said the rule book
As it was written, it will be
The spine surfs alone
