She comes on like a rose but everybody knows She'll get you in dutch You can look but you'd better not touch Poison ivy, poison ivy Late at night while you're sleeping Poison ivy comes a-creepin all 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 Measles make you bumby, and mumps'll make you lumpy And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch A common cold'll fool ya, and whoopin' cough can cool ya Before the night it sure will make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion You'll be scratching like a hound The minute you start to mess around Poison ivy, poison ivy Before the night it sure will make you itch Measles make you bumby, and mumps'll make you lumpy And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch A common cold'll fool ya, and whoopin' cough can cool ya Before the night it sure will make you itch You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion You'll be scratching like a hound The minute you start to mess around Poison ivy, poison ivy...
