Rodgers & Hart — Id Like to Poison Ivy

(Verse 1) I've got a girl named Ivy She’s awfully fond of me She follows me both night and day I wish she'd let me be At night, when I am sleeping I can't forget that face And if she goes to Heaven, then I’ll go to the other place (Chorus) I'd like to poison Ivy Because she clings to me She grabbed me the moment we met Just a Jane you want to forget Like Barnum stuck to Bailey She sticks to me, you see I'd like to poison Ivy Because she poisons me (Verse 2) I see that face each morning I see it every night I look at her at dinnertime And lose my appetite She uses mineral lava And dresses up in silk But when the moo-cow looks at her We all drink buttermilk (Chorus) I'd like to poison Ivy Because she clings to me She grabbed me the moment we met Just a Jane you want to forget Like Barnum stuck to Bailey She sticks to me, you see I'd like to poison Ivy Because she poisons me
