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

"You're gonna need an ocean/Of calamine lotion". Thousands of songwriters, myself likely included, will go to our graves having never penned as perfect a couplet as this.

Juliet Reminiec

Today that line would be you're gonna need an ocean of Aloe Vera lotion

Robyn Rodriguez

Both of you are SO RIGHT

D Mac

I used it today with a friend who has poison Ivy. She didn’t know the song!

B. Wheatley

Sounds more like the clap...

Brenda k Davis

Most under-appreciated singing group of early rock&roll. They were quite creative.

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'

She'll really do you in
If you let her under your skin
Poison ivy, poison ivy

You are my hero 🦸‍♀️

Gotta Love it. I was introduced to this very early song by woman I knew who Identified as Poison Ivy herself. We could never go to a bar and play this song and not dance.
