Lyrics for Love Potion No. 9 by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

I took my troubles down to Madame Rue.


You know that gypsy with the gold capped tooth


She’s got a pad down on 34th and Vine,


Selling little bottles of Love Potion #9.


I told her that I was a flop with chicks.


I’ve been disgraced since 1956.


She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign.


She said what you need is 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 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 kissing everything in sight.


But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine.


He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9.


(instrumental)


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 34th and Vine.


He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9.


Love Potion #9...


Love Potion #9...


Love Potion #9...
