I took my troubles down to madame ruth
you know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
she's got a shop down on 34th and vine
sellin' little bottles of love potion #9
I took my troubles down to madame ruth

i told her that i was a flop with chicks
i'd been this way since 1956
she stretched out her palm and she made a magic sign
she said 'what you need boy is love potion #9'

she bent down, she turned around she gave me a wink
she said 'i'm gonna mix 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 kissin' everything in sight
but when i kissed a cop down on 34th and vine
he broke my little bottle of love potion #9

love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
