She comes on like a rose and everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch, you can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well, late at night while you're sleeping, Poison Ivy comes a creeping all around
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
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping, Poison Ivy comes a creeping all around
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
You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound, the minute you start to mess around
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping, Poison Ivy comes a creeping all around
Produced by Andrew Loog Oldham
