Poison Ivy Songtext

von Manfred Mann

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...
