by Lieber and Stoller
She comes on like a rose - verse
but everybody knows
she'll get you in Dutch
you can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy Poison Ivy - chorus
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes creeping around
She's pretty as a daisy - verse
but look out man she's crazy
she'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin
Measles make you mumpy - bridge
and mumps will make you lumpy
and chicken pox will make you
jump and switch
A common cold will fool you
and whooping cough can cool ya
But Poison Ivy lord will make you itch
Your gonna need an ocean - verse
of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around
CHORUS - BRIDGE - REPEAT LAST VERSE - CHORUS
La la la la - verse
la la la la
la la la la
