I took my troubles down to Madame Rue 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 Number Nine
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 number nine'
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 at Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of love potion number nine
