Love Potion No. 9 (The Seachers)

Searchers - Love Potion No 9

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

I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is a bottle of Love Potion #9

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, and looked like India 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 kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9
