She comes on like a rose but everybody knows

She'll get you in Dutch

Now you can look but you better not touch



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



She's pretty as a daisy but look out man she's crazy

She'll really do you in

Now if you let her under your skin



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



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'll cool ya

But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!!



You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion

You'll be scratchin' like a hound

The minute you start to mess around



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



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'll cool ya

But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!!



You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion

You'll be scratchin' like a hound

The minute you start to mess around



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
