Lyrics

[Verse 1] She comes on like a rose And everybody knows She'll get you in Dutch You can look but you'd better not touch [Chorus] Poison ivy, poison ivy Well late at night when you're sleeping Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around [Verse 2] She's pretty as a daisy But look out man she's crazy She'll really do you in If you let her get under your skin [Chorus] Poison ivy, poison ivy Well late at night when you're sleeping Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around [Bridge] Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch A common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you But poison ivy's gonna make you itch [Verse 2] You're gonna need an ocean Of calamine lotion You'll be scratching like a hound The minute you start to mess around [Chorus] Poison ivy, poison ivy Well late at night when you're sleeping Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around [Bridge] Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch A common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you But poison ivy's gonna make you itch [Verse 3] You're gonna need an ocean Of calamine lotion You'll be scratching like a hound The minute you start to mess around [Chorus] Poison ivy, poison ivy Well late at night when you're sleeping Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around [Outro] La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la
