Nature Boy/ Poison Ivy

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
