You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion You'll be scratchin' like a hound The minute you start to mess around Measles make you bumpy And mumps'll make you lumpy And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch A common cold'll fool ya And whooping cough'll cool ya But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!! You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion You'll be scratchin' like a hound The minute you start to mess around La da la da la da
