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      Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy   Late at night while you're sleepin'   Poison Ivy comes a creepin' around   She's 'round      Measles make you bumpy   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   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      Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy   Late at night while you're sleepin'   Poison Ivy comes a creepin' around   She's 'round
