I took my troubles down to madame rough You know that gypsy with the gold cap tooth She's got a pad down at 34th and vine Sellin' little bottles of Love potion #9 I told her that i was a flop with chicks I been this way sinces 1956 She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign She said what ya' need is Love potion #9 She bent down and turn 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 I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissing everything in sight But when i kissed a cop down at 34th and vine He broke my little bottle of Love potion #9 Love potion #9 Love potion #9 Love potion #9
