I took my troubles down to

Madam Rue

You know that gypsy
With the gold tattoo
She's got a pad down on
34th and Vine

Sellin' little bottles of
Love potion number nine
I told her that l was
A flop wiih 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 poiion number nine
She bent down and

Turned around
And gave me a wink
If smelled like turpentine

And looked like India ink

I held my nose

I closed my eyes
I took a drink
I did n'f know if it was
Day or night

I started kissin'
Everything in sight
But when I kissed 1he cop
Down on 341h and Vine
He broke

My IiHle boHle of

Love poiion number nine
(Instrumental Break)
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 1he cop
Down on 341h and Vine
He broke

My IiHle boHle of

Love poiion number nine
Love poiion number nine
Love poiion number nine
Love poiion number nine
