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
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes creepin' around
She's pretty as a daisy
But lookout man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin
CHORUS
That beat will make your jumpy
And blues will make you lumpy
The way it rocks will make you jump and twitch
The rhythm's gonna fool ya
The slow backbeat will cool ya
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch
You gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
CHORUS
She'll get you in Dutch
You can look but you better not touch
Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes creepin' around
She's pretty as a daisy
But lookout man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin
CHORUS
That beat will make your jumpy
And blues will make you lumpy
The way it rocks will make you jump and twitch
The rhythm's gonna fool ya
The slow backbeat will cool ya
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch
You gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
CHORUS
