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 a creepin' around She's round She's pretty as a daisy But look out man she's crazy She'll really do you in If you let her get under your skin Chorus Measles make you bumpy And mumps'll make you lumpy And chicken pox'll make youjump and twitch A common cold'll fool ya And whoopin' 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 Chorus
