[G] [GFG] [G] [GFG] [G]She comes on like a ro[GFG]se - verse
[G]but everybody know[GFG]s
[G]she'll get you in D[GFG]utch
you can l[G]ook but you'd better not touch
Poison [Em]Ivy Poison [Bm]Ivy - chorus
Late at [Em]night while you're sleeping
[Bb]Poison Ivy comes creeping [Em]around[D]
She's pretty as a daisy - verse
but look out man she's crazy
she'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin
[C]Measles make you mumpy - bridge
and mumps will make you lumpy
[G]and chicken pox will make you
jump and switch
[C]A common cold will fool you
and whooping cough can cool ya
But Poi[D]son Ivy lord will make you itch
Your gonna need an ocean - verse
of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around
CHORUS - BRIDGE - REPEAT LAST VERSE - CHORUS
La la la la - verse
la la la la
la la la la
