You can look but you better not touch
Poison ivy, poison ivy
La da la da la da
Poison ivy, poison ivy
She'll really do you in
Poison ivy comes creepin', around
A common cold'll fool ya
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And whooping cough can cool ya
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch
If you let her under your skin
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Measles make you bumpy
The minute you start to mess around
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
The minute you start to mess around
La da la da la da
La da la da la da
Poison ivy comes creepin', around
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Late at night while you're sleepin'
She's pretty as a daisy
She comes on like a rose but everybody knows
Measles make you bumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
A common cold'll fool ya
You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
And whooping cough can cool ya
Poison ivy comes creepin', around
She'll get you in Dutch
Poison ivy comes creepin', around
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
But look out man she's crazy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
And mumps'll make you lumpy
