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 ivy poison ivy

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

Late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy

And mumps will make you lumpy

And chicken pox will make you jump and twitch

A common cold will cool you

But whooping cough will fool you

But poison ivy's gonna 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

Late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy

And mumps will make you lumpy

And chicken pox will make you jump and twitch

A common cold will cool you

And whooping cough will fool you

But poison ivy's gonna 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

Late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around
