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 while 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 But if you let her get under your skin [Chorus] Poison ivy, poison ivy 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, Lord, will 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 while you're sleeping Poison ivy come a-creeping all around [Outro] La-la, la-la, la-la La-la, la-la, la-la La-la, la-la, la-la
