I took my troubles down to Madame Ruece
You know that gypsy with the gold cap tooth
She's got a pad on 34th and Vine
Sellin little bottles of love potion No.9

I told her 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"

She bent down and tumed around and gave
me a wink
She said I'm gonna mix it up, right here
in the sink
It smells like turpentine and looks like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know it was day or night
I thought of kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed the cop at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of love potion No.9

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
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 happned to love potion No.10

Love potion No.9, love potion No.9
