Love Potion Number 9

I took my troubles down to Mama Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a little store down on 34th and Vine
Selling little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine

I told her that I was a flop with guys
I've been that way since 1965
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"
Love Potion Number Nine

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna mix 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 kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine
He stole my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine

(Love is a beautiful thing)

(Love is a beautiful thing)

(Love is a beautiful thing) Love Potion Number Nine
(Love is a beautiful thing) Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
(Love Potion Number Nine)

Took my troubles down to Mama Ruth
