1. I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth, You know, that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth

She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine, sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine

2. I told her that I was a flop with chicks, I'd been this way since 19 - 56

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign, she said what you need is Love Potion Number Nine

BRIDGE: She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink, she said "I'm gonna mix it ups 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

3. I didn't know if it was day or night, I started kissin' every - thing in sight

3. (a) But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine, He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

3. (b) I had so much fun that I'm goin' back again, I wonder what'll happen with Love Potion Number Ten

AFTER REPEATING BRIDGE AND THIRD VERSE, REPEAT TO FADE:

Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine
