She comes on like a rose but everybody knows
|
She'll get you in Dutch
|
Now you can look but you better not touch
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Poison ivy, poison ivy
|
Late at night while you're sleepin' poison ivy comes a'creepin'
|
Around
|
|
She's pretty as a daisy but look out man she's crazy
|
She'll really do you in
|
Now if you let her under your skin
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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'll 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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'll 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
La da la da la da [Repeat x 4]
|
