Poison Ivy

(album: The Hollies At Abbey Road 1963-1966 - 1997)

She comes on like a rose
And everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
Well you can look but you'd better not touch

Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a creeping 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
Well late at night when you're sleepin
Poison Ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make mumpy
Mumps'll make you lumpy
Chicken pox will make you jump and twitch
Common cold'll cool you
Whooping cough will fool you
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean ah
Of Calamine lotion ah
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around

Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison Ivy comes a creeping all around

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
