Lyric Poison Ivy

(Lieber/Stoller)


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 when 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 and 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
