Love Potion # Nine

Love Potion # Nine - Johnny & The Panty Raiders

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 chicks

I'd been this way since 1956

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign

She said

What I 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 India 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

Love potion number nine
