She comes on like a rose

But everybody knows

She'll get you in Dutch

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

If you let her get 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 can 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 can 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

La da la da la da

La da la da la da

La da la da la da
