She comes on like a rose,
but everybody knows
She'll get you in touch,
you can look but you better not touch
More than I've been,
more than I've been
Late at night while you're sleeping,
Poison Ivy comes a creepin'
around
She's pretty as a daisy,
but look how mad she's crazy
She'll really do you in,
if you let her get under your skin
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
You made it nice while you're sleeping,
boys, and now the guns are
creeping around
Measles make you poppy,
and mumps will make you lumpy,
and chicken pox will make
you jump and twitch
A common cold will fool you,
and whooping cough can cool you, but boys,
now the Lord will 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 a -creepin'
around
Measles make you poppy,
and mumps will make you loppy,
and chicken pox will make
you jump and twitch.
A common cold will fool ya,
and whooping coughs can cool ya, but brother,
now the Lord will make you itch.
You're gonna need an ocean now,
a calamine lotion now,
you'll be scratching like a hound now.
The minute you
start to mess around
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' around
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La, la, la, la.
