Poison Ivy
The Coasters 1959
Listen to the Song!
She comes on like a rose
But everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
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' all around
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She's gonna do you in
If you let her under your skin
Chorus
Mumps'll make you lumpy
Measles make you bumpy
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
