She comes on like a rose   And everybody knows   She'll get you in dutch   Well, you can look but you'd better not touch      Poison ivy, poison ivy   Well, late at night when you're sleepin'   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   Well, late at night when you're sleepin'   Poison ivy comes a creepin' all around      Measles make mumpy   Mumps'll make you lumpy   Chicken pox will make you jump and twitch      Common cold'll cool you   Whooping cough will fool you   But poison ivy, Lord will make you itch      You're gonna need an ocean, ah   Of Calamine lotion, ah   You'll be scratching like a hound   The minute you start to mess around      Poison ivy, poison ivy   Well, late at night when you're sleepin'   Poison ivy comes a creepin' all around      La, la, la, la, la, la   La, la, la, la, la, la   La, la, la, la, la, la
