Manfred Mann Poison Ivy Lyrics

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...
