The Lyrics
Chiropractic involves, among other things, I'm sure, the proper alignment of the spine. All I can tell you is that it works and I feel better after each session. The doctor had a memory blank when I spoke of making a parody of some Burt Bacharach songs but seemed to recall a few when I told him Dionne Warwick sang a good number of them in the 1960's. This is the first Bacharach parody but I plan on adding more!
“Do You Know the Way of Vertebrae?”
Do you know the way of ver-te-brae?
I’ve had a pain so long, something is wrong, but I can’t say
I have over thirty ver-te-brae
I’m hoping you can help, sometime today, if that’s okay?
Pain is such a great big problem
Try a chi-ro-prac-tor, near or far
In a moment or two, you’ll feel like a star
If your back’s misaligned, they’ll treat you fast
Then all the pains you used to have
They’re gone—you’re feeling good at last!
Problems I sure had with ver-te-brae
I know that my spine was misaligned, I sure can say
Now I’m at the doctor’s place today
Some pain to leave, I’ll never grieve, if that’s okay
They have lots of treatment options:
Starting with a table and an eval
After that exam, you're not on your own:
Appointments made, you come and stay
And then you go back to your way
You’re feeling better anyway!
I have over 30 vertebrae
Do you know the way of vertebrae?
(musical interlude)
Spinal problems can be painful
Chiropractic may just help you along
In a session or two, you just might feel strong
Every time you come, you’re farther along
And all the rest who never came
All I can say, they’re still the same. . ..
I've got over 30 vertebrae
Do you know the way of vertebrae?
Can't wait till you fix my vertebrae
Do you know the way of ver-te-brae?
I’ve had a pain so long, something is wrong, but I can’t say
I have over thirty ver-te-brae
I’m hoping you can help, sometime today, if that’s okay?
Pain is such a great big problem
Try a chi-ro-prac-tor, near or far
In a moment or two, you’ll feel like a star
If your back’s misaligned, they’ll treat you fast
Then all the pains you used to have
They’re gone—you’re feeling good at last!
Problems I sure had with ver-te-brae
I know that my spine was misaligned, I sure can say
Now I’m at the doctor’s place today
Some pain to leave, I’ll never grieve, if that’s okay

Do you know the way of vertebrae?
Can't wait till you fix my vertebrae
