Love Potion #9 Lyrics – Smokey Joe's Cafe

I took my trouble down to madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with gold-capped tooth
She lives on the bloc down on thirty-fourth an' vine
Sellin' little bottles of
Love potion number nine

I told her that i was a flop with chicks
I'd been this way from nineteen fifty-six
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
Said 'uh what you need is
Love potion number nine

She bent down an' turned around an' give me a wink
She said I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine an' 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 on the thirty-four an'vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love potion number nine
