Poison Ivy Lyrics


Now cat, don’t touch that gal there please
You’ll get wasted, down to your knees
CHORUS
Now I don’t like to brag,
I don’t like to say what I do
But I’m like poison ivy,
I’ll break out all over you
Everyday when I shave, wearin’ my house coat
Two men have to hold me or I’ll cut my throat
Well I bought me a blade, one that I could afford
Too long to be a knife, and too short to be a sword
Last night some cat got smart with my niece
Now he wears a sign sayin’ “rest in peace”

Now I don’t claim to be bad, don’t claim to be strong
I just like to keep bad people from doing me wrong
---

Willie Mabon (24 October 1925, Memphis, Tennessee – 19 April 1985, Paris, France) was an American R&B singer, songwriter and pianist.

Born Willie James Mabon, and brought up in Memphis, he had become known as a singer and pianist by the time he moved to Chicago in 1942. He formed a group, the Blues Rockers, and in 1949 began recording for the Aristocrat label, and then Chess. His style contrasted with many Chess artistes – it was cool and jazzy, emphasising piano and saxophone rather than guitar and harmonica.
