I took my troubles down to Madam Ruth |
|
You know, that gypsy with the gold capped tooth |
|
She's got a path down on thirty-fourth and vine |
|
Sellin' little bottles of love potion no. 9 |
|
I told her that I was a flop with chicks |
|
I've been that way since nineteen fifty-six |
|
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign |
|
She said, "What you need is love potion no. 9 |
|
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink |
|
She said, "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink" |
|
It smelled like turpentine and looked like Indian ink |
|
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink |
|
I didn't know if it was day or night |
|
I started kissin' ev'ry thing in sight |
|
But when I kissed a cop down at thirty-fourth and vine |
|
He broke my little bottle of love potion no. 9 |
|
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink |
|
I didn't know if it was day or night |
|
I started kissin' ev'ry thing in sight |
|
But when I kissed a cop down at thirty-fourth and vine |
|
He broke my little bottle of love potion no. 9 |
|
Love potion no. 9 |
|
Love potion no. 9 |
|
Love potion no. 9 |
