Poison Ivy Songtext
von Redbone

She comes on like a rose
Like everybody knows
She′ll get you in Dutch
You can look, but you better not touch

Poison Ivy, poison Ivy
Late at night, while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a-creeping all around

She′s pretty as a daisy
But look out, man, she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin

Poison Ivy, poison Ivy
Late at night, while you′re sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a-creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy, mumps′ll make you lumpy
And Chicken-Pox'll make you jump and twitch
A whooping cough′ll fool you, a common cold'll cool you
But poison Ivy, lord′ll make you itch


Gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around

Poison Ivy, poison Ivy
Late at night, while you′re sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a-creeping all around

La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la

Poison Ivy, poison Ivy
Late at night, while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a-creeping all around

La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)


La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
La, la, la-la (ooh-ooh)
