She comes on like a rose and 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 sleeping
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around

She's pretty as a daisy
But lookout 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
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around

That beat will make your jumpy
And blues will make you lumpy
The way it rocks will make you jump and twitch
The rhythm's gonna fool ya
The slow backbeat will cool ya
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch

You 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 sleeping
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around

That beat will make your jumpy
And blues will make you lumpy
The way it rocks will make you jump and twitch
The rhythm's gonna fool ya
The slow backbeat will cool ya
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch

You 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 sleeping
Poision Ivy comes creepin' around
