Lyrics Poison Ivy (Rerecorded) - The Coasters

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 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 sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes creapin' around
Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll will make you lumpy
And Chicken pox will make you jump and twitch
The common cold will fool you
And whooping cough will cool you
But Poison Ivy, 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 creapin' around
Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll will make you lumpy
And Chicken pox will make you jump and twitch
The common cold will fool you
And whooping cough can cool you
But Poison Ivy, 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 creapin' around
