Love Potion #9 (The Clovers cover)

from The NOLA Treblemakers: Going Late! (2024 November 25) (2:05)

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She got a little pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine

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 Love Potion Number Nine"

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it 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 Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

Shadoop shadoop shadoop doop doo doop
Shadoop shadoop shadoop doop doo doop
Shadoop shadoop shadoop doop doo doop
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 Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
