Love Potion Number Nine

Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Leiber-Stoller

[Verse 1]
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 Number Nine

[Verse 2]
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
Said, "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"

[Bridge]
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 and looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

[Verse 3]
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

[Guitar Solo]
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
