In 1963, the Rolling Stones recorded two versions of the song “Poison Ivy”, which had been a top 10 hit for the Coasters in 1959.
The second version was released as part of the Rolling Stones EP in early 1964. It was also the B-side of the Stones' third single, “You Better Move On”.
The longer fir...
[Verse 1]
She comes on like a rose
And everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
You can look but you'd better not touch
[Chorus]
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around
[Verse 2]
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
But if you let her get under your skin
[Chorus]
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around
[Bridge]
Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you
But poison ivy Lord will make you itch
[Verse 3]
You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
[Chorus]
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a-creeping all around
[Outro]
