I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
  You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
  She's got a shop down on 34th and Vine
  Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion #9

  I told her that I was a flop with chicks
  I'd been this way since 1956
  She stretched out her palm and she made a magic sign
  She said 'What you need boy is Love Potion #9'
  
  
  She bent down, she turned around she gave me a wink
  She said 'I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink'
  It smelled like turpentine and 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 34th and Vine
  He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9
  
  
  Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
