Poison Ivy:The Coasters.
#1 on R&B and #7 on Rock Charts in 1959.
#1.
She comes on like a rose......but everybody knows,
she'll get you in Dutch.
Why, you can look but you better not touch..
CHORUS:#1.
Poison Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y.
Late at night while you're sleepin', poison Ivy comes a'creepin',
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound.
#2.
She's pretty as a daisy.....but look out man she's crazy.
She'll really do you in.
If you let her under your skin.
CHORUS:#1.
Poison Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y.
Late at night while you're sleepin', poison Ivy comes a'creepin',
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound.
CHORUS:#2.
Measles make you bumpy..and Mumps'll make you lumpy,
And Chicken Pox'll make you jump and twitch.
A common cold'll fool ya, and Whooping Cough can cool ya.
But Poison Ivy, Lord'll make you itch!
#3.
You're gonna need an ocean......of Calamine lotion.
You'll be scratchin' like a hound,
The minute you start to mess around...
CHORUS:#1.
Poison Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y.
Late at night while you're sleepin', poison Ivy comes a'creepin',
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound..
CHORUS:#2.
Measles make you bumpy..and Mumps'll make you lumpy,
And Chicken Pox'll make you jump and twitch.
A common cold'll fool ya, and Whooping Cough can cool ya.
But Poison Ivy, Lord'll make you itch!
#4.
You're gonna need an ocean......of Calamine lotion.
You'll be scratchin' like a hound,
The minute you start to mess around...
CHORUS:#1.
Poison Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y.
Late at night while you're sleepin', poison Ivy comes a'creepin',
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound..(Fade.)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
