Lyrics

(Serve it up) took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
(And drink it down) you know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a storefront at 34th and Vine
Selling little bottles of love potion number nine (serve it up)
Love potion number nine (and drink it down)
(Serve it up) I told her that I was a flop with chicks
(And drink it down) I've been this way since 1966
She looked at my palm and made a magic sign
She said, what you need is (what?)
Love potion number nine (serve it up)
Love potion number nine, yeah (and drink it down)
She bent down, turned around and gave me a wink
Said, "I'm gonna mix it up, right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, closed my eyes, I took a drink
(Serve it up) I didn't know if it was day or night
(And drink it down) I started kissing everything in sight
When I kissed a cop at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottles of (what?)
Love potion number nine (serve it up)
Love potion number nine (and drink it down)
Yeah
Serve it up
And drink it down
Serve it up
And drink it down
Serve it up
And drink it down
Serve it up
And drink it down
Serve it up
And drink it down
Serve it up
And drink it down
Serve it up
And drink it down
Serve it up
And drink it down
