Poison Ivy


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

Poison iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
poison ivy comes a'creepin'
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
 

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

Poison iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
poison ivy comes a'creepin'
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
 

Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya
And whooping cough can cool ya
But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!!
 

You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
 

Poison iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
poison ivy comes a'creepin'
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
 

Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya
And whooping cough can cool ya
But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!!
 

You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
 

Poison iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
poison ivy comes a'creepin'
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
