Love Potion No 9

I took my troubles down to madame ruth

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 number nine

I told her that I was a flop with chics

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 number nine

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 number nine

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 number nine

love potion number nine

(love potion number nine)
