Love Potion No. 9 - Mike Silver

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

Selling little bottles of love potion No 9

Love potion No 9

I told her that I was a folp with chics

Said that I was far

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 No 9

Love potion No 9

She bend 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 didn't know

I started kissing everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on thirty-gourth and vine

He broke my little bottle of love potion No 9

Love potion No 9

She bend 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 didn't know

I started kissing everything in sight

That's so much fun

And I'm going that again

I wonder why don't I have it love potion No 10

Love potion No 9

Love potion No 9

Love potion No 9
