Love Potion No. 9

I didn't know it was a day or night
I started kissin' every thing in sight
It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink

She said, "What you need is Love Potion No. 9"

I've been this way since nineteen fifty six
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
I told her that I was a flop with chicks

He broke my little bottle of Love Potion No. 9
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
I didn't know it was day or night
She's got a path on Thirty-fourth and Vine
But when I kissed a cop at Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion No. 9
She said, "I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink"
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion No. 9

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I started kissin' every thing in sight
But when I kissed a cop at Thirty-Fourth and Vine
