Poison Ivy

Lyrics for Poison Ivy

Thought by some to not be About a plant at all But rather a young lady With a social disease She comes on like a rose But everybody knows She'll get you in Dutch You can look but you better not touch 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 If you let her under your skin Poison ivy, poison ivy Late at night while you're sleepin' Poison ivy comes a'creepin' around 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 ivy, poison ivy Late at night while you're sleepin' Poison ivy comes a'creepin' around 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 ivy, poison ivy Late at night while you're sleepin' Poison ivy comes a'creepin' around La da la da la da La da la da la da La da la da la da La da la da la da
