She comes on like a rose but everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison ivy poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creepin all around
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 ivy poison ivy
Measles make you bumby and mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya and whoopin' cough can cool ya
Before the night it sure will make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison ivy poison ivy
Before the night it sure will make you itch
Measles make you bumby and mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya and whoopin' cough can cool ya
Before the night it sure will make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison ivy poison ivy
