She's common like a rose
Everybody knows
She'll get you to look

You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping

Poison Ivy come a creeping around

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


Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping

Poison Ivy come a creeping around

Measles make you bumpy

Mumps'll make you lumpy
Chicken Pox'll make you jump and twitch
Common cold'll fool you

Whooping cough'll cool you
Poison Ivy's love'll make you itch


Gonna need a notion
Calomine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound

The minute you start to mess around

Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy

Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy come a creeping around


Measles make you bumpy
Mumps'll make you lumpy
Chicken Pox'll make you jump and twitch

Common cold'll fool you
Whooping cough'll cool you
Poison Ivy's love'll make you itch


Gonna need a notion
Calomine lotion

You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around


Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy come a creeping around


Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy come a creeping

Around
