Poison Ivy
whoa But everybody knows..don't ya know, don't ya know?
She'll get you in love, OW!
You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creepin around-ound
She's pretty as a daisy...
pretty as a daisy
But look out man,
she's crazy,
yeah yeah yeah yeahhh
She'll really do you in,
really do 'ya in
If you let her get under your skin
(echo)
whoa But everybody knows..don't ya know, don't ya know?
She'll get you in love, OW!
You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, poison ivy
Measles make ya' mumpy,
and mumps'll make ya' lumpy
And chicken pox will make you jump and twitch
A common cold will fool ya'
And whooping coughs will cool ya'
But Poison Ivy,
Lord will make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion,
oh you're gonna need it
You'll be scratching like a hound, boy,
you'll be itchin'
The minute you start to mess around
whoa But everybody knows..don't ya know, don't ya know?
She'll get you in love, OW!
You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, poison ivy
You're gonna need an ocean,
big big ocean Of calamine lotion,
whoa whoa
You'll be scratching like a hound,
you'll be scratchin,
you'll be scratchin
The minute you start to mess around
whoa But everybody knows..don't ya know, don't ya know?
She'll get you in love, OW!
You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, poison ivy
Lalala,
lalalala,
lalalala,
lalalala...
