Poison Ivy lyrics

She comes on like a rose

And everybody knows

She'll get you in dutch

You can look but you'd better not touch

Poison ivy, poison ivy

Well 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

Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy

And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch

A common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you

But poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're 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

Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy

And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch

A common cold'll cool you, a whooping cough'll fool you

But poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're 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

Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

La la la la...
