Poison Ivy Lyrics

She comes on like a rose but everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
You can look but you better not touchPoison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a-creepin' aroundShe's pretty as a daisy but look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her under your skinPoison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a-creepin' aroundMeasles 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 aroundPoison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a-creepin' aroundMeasles 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 aroundPoison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a-creepin' aroundLa da la da la da
La da la da la da
La da la da la da
La da la da la da
