She comes on like a rose

But everybody knows

She'll get you in touch

You can look but you'd better not touch



Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy

Late at night when your sleeping

Poison Ivy comes a creeping around



She's pretty as a daisy

But look out man she's crazy

She'll really reel you in

If you let her get under your skin



Measles makes you mumpy

And mumps will make you lumpy

And chicken pox will make you jump and twitch (make you jump and twitch)

A common cold will fool ya

And whooping coughs will cool ya

But poison ivy loves to make you itch



Your gonna need an ocean (gonna need an ocean)

Of calamine lotion (oh, your gonna need it)

You'll be scratching like a hound (boy, you'll be itching)

The minute you start to mess around



Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy

Late at night when your sleeping

Poison Ivy comes a creeping around



Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
