I took my troubles down to Madame Rue

You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth

She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

Selling little bottles of love potion number nine

I told her that 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 number nine"

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, it 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 on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

He broke my little bottle of love

Love potion number nine

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 on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

He broke my little bottle of love

Love potion number nine

Love potion number nine

Love potion number nine

Love potion number nine
