Lyrics: |
She comes on like a rose But everybody knows, don't ya know, don't ya know She'll get you in touch You can look but you'd better not touch Poison ivy, poison ivy Late at night when you're sleeping, Poison ivy comes a creeping around. . . She's pretty as a daisy (pretty as a daisy) But look out man she's crazy (yeah, yeah, yeah) She'll really reel you in (really reel you in) If you let her get under your skin (let her get under your skin) (chorus) Measles makes you mumpy, And mumps will make you 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 will make you itch You're gonna need an ocean (gonna need an ocean) Of calamine lotion (oh, you're gonna need it) You'll be scratching like a hound (boy, you'll be itching) The minute she starts to mess around. . . (chorus) La la la la. . . |
