Love Potion No. 9 Lyrics by The Clovers

Love Potion Number 9

0

[Intro]
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
We lost you on Madame Ruth, you got too soft bill. Keep singin' out. And every, helm, helm, you don't get any softer on any of those other cuts. This is it, this is the tempo and that's the grove, okay? Take sixteen
[Verse 1]
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion No. 9
[Verse 2]
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
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 No. 9"
[Bridge]
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, "I'm gonna mix 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)
[Verse 3]
I didn't know it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop at Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion No. 9
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
I held my nose, I closed my eyes (I took a drink)
[Verse 3]
I didn't know it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
I had so much fun that I'm goin' back again
I wonder what'll happen with Love Potion No. 10
[Outro]
Love Potion No. 9
Love Potion No. 9
