She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine
DmSellin' little bottles of
E AmLove 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 you need is
Love Potion Number Nine"
Bridge:

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
DmIt smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink
EI held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
Verse 3:
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion Number Nine
