 She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign  She said "What you need is. . . .  Love Potion Number 9"

 It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian 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 kissin' everything in sight
 But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number 9

 I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
 I didn't know if it was day or night       I started kissin' everything in sight

... I had so much fun that I'm going back again, just to see what happens with... Love Potion Number 10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just Lyrics
 I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth   You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
 She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine   Sellin' little bottles of   -  Love Potion Number 9

I told her that I was a flop with chics   I've 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 9"

 She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink   She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
 It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian 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 kissin' everything in sight
 But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine   He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number 9
 Love Potion Number Nine
