Love potion #9/spooky
I took my troubles down to madame ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a shop down on 34th and vine
Sellin' little bottles of love potion #9
I took my troubles down to madame ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a shop down on 34th and vine
Sellin' little bottles of love potion #9
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I'd been this way since 1956
She stretched out her palm and she made a magic sign
She said 'what you need boy is love potion #9'
She bent down, she turned around she gave me a wink
She said 'I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink'
It smelled like turpentine and looked like indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and vine
He broke my little bottle of love potion #9
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
She bent down, she turned around, she gave me a wink
She said 'I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink'
It smelled like turpentine and looked like india ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and vine
He broke my little bottle of love potion #9
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
