Lyrics
There was a very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
What about the future?
The biz is changing by the minute
You got to please the public
Just as long as you are in it
Well let's give them what they're buyin'
There ain't no use to fight a gimmick
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 sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping around
Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
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 scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping around
Poison ivy
