She comes on like a rose,
But everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
Now you can look, but you'd better not touch. 

Poison Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a-creepin' arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound... 

She's pretty as a daisy,
But look out man, she's crazy.
She'll really do you in
Now if you let her get under your skin. 

Poison Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a-creepin' arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound... 

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 Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a-creepin' arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound... 

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 Iv-y-y-y-y, poison Iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a-creepin' arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound... 

La da la da la da,
La da la da la da.
La da la da la da,
La da la da la da....

Back to the field.
