Poison Ivy Lyrics

She comes on like a rose, whoa, whoa
But everybody knows..don't ya know, don't ya know?
She'll get you in her clutch, OW!
You can look but you'd better not touch

Poison Ivy, poison ivy
At night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creepin around

She's pretty as a daisy...pretty as a daisy
But look out man, she's crazy, yeah yeah yeah yeahhh
She'll really do you in, really d'ya in
Either that or get under your skin (echo)

Poison Ivy, poison ivy
At night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creepin around

Measles make ya' mumpy, and mumps'll make ya' lumpy
And chicken pox will make you jump and twitch, Make you jump and twitch
A common cold will fool ya'
And whooping coughs will do ya
But Poison Ivy, Will make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion, oh you're gonna need it
You'll be scratching like a hound, boy, you'll be itchin'
The minute you start to mess around

Poison Ivy, poison ivy
At night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creepin around

You're gonna need an ocean, big big ocean
Of calamine lotion, whoa whoa
You'll be scratching like a hound, you'll be scratchin', you'll be scratchin
The minute you start to mess around

Poison Ivy, poison ivy
At night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creepin around

Lalala, lalalala, laalala, lalalala...

Wow, I am the first to comment on this one. I've never heard it.

I've never heard this version, but I bet my life that the Coasters' version (which I have heard) is better.
