|
Thought by some to not be about a plant at all |
|
But rather a young lady with a social disease |
|
She comes on like a rose but everybody knows |
|
She'll get you in Dutch |
|
You can look but you better not touch |
|
Poison ivy, poison ivy |
|
Late at night while you're sleepin' |
|
Poison ivy comes creepin', around |
|
She's pretty as a daisy |
|
But look out man she's crazy |
|
She'll really do you in |
|
If you let her under your skin |
|
Poison ivy, poison ivy |
|
Late at night while you're sleepin' |
|
Poison ivy comes creepin', around |
|
Measles 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 can 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 around |
|
Poison ivy, poison ivy |
|
Late at night while you're sleepin' |
|
Poison ivy comes creepin', around |
|
Measles 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 can 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 around |
|
Poison ivy, poison ivy |
|
Late at night while you're sleepin' |
|
Poison ivy comes creepin', around |
