She comes on like a rose but everybody knows 
She'll get you in Dutch 
You can look but you 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 
If you let her 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 can 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 can 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
