[Verse 1]
She comes on like a rose
And everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
You can look but you'd better not touch

[Chorus]
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around

[Verse 2]
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
But if you let her get under your skin

[Chorus]
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around

[Bridge]
Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you
But poison ivy Lord will make you itch
[Verse 3]
You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around

[Chorus]
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around

[Outro]
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
