Love Potion Number Nine
(The Clovers)
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
Sellin'
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
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
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
I
had so
much
fun
that I'm
goin
back
again
I
wonder
what'll
happen
with "Love
Potion #10"
Love
Potion
Number
Nine
Love
Potion
Number
Nine
Love
Potion
Number
Nine
"There are three principal means of acquiring
knowledge . . . observation of nature, reflection, and
experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection
combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that
combination."
-- Denis Diderot, editor of the first modern Encyclopedia
