Love Potion No. 9

I took my troubles down to Madame Rue

You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth

She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion No. 9

I told her that I was a flop with chicks

I've been this way since 1956

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign

She said, "What you need is Love Potion No. 9"

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink

She said, "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"

It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night

I started kissin' everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

He broke my little bottle of Love Potion No. 9

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night

I started kissin' everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

He broke my little bottle of Love Potion No. 9

Love Potion No. 9

Love Potion No. 9

Love Potion No. 9
