TMI-vy
(a work in progress)
based on Poison Ivy by The Coasters (peak was on Billboard position # 7 in 1959)
Words and Music by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller
(Thought by some to not be about a plant at all, but rather a young lady with a social disease)

TMI-vy, TMI-vy
verbal indigestion will hurt your living
when too much info is given arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound

It comes on every day on e-mail, whether male or female
It goes on from screen to screen
You can read it but there's not much you can glean
TMI-vy, TMI-vy
too much info comes a creeping
and you feel your mind a seeping arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound

Junk mail will make you bumpy
And traffic makes you lumpy
And calls from parents make you jump and twitch
Students they can fool ya
And taking walks can cool ya
But TM-ivy, Lord'll make you itch!

TM iv-y-y-y-y, TM iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
verbal indigestion comes a'creepin' Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound

She comes on like a rose but everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
Now you can look but you better not touch
Poi

son iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
poison ivy comes a'creepin' Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
She's pretty as a daisy but look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
Now if you let her under your skin

Poison iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin'
poison ivy comes a'creepin' Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound

Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya
And whooping cough'll cool ya
But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!
! You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin' poison ivy comes a'creepin' Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound

Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya
And whooping cough'll cool ya
But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!!
You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison iv-y-y-y-y, poison iv-y-y-y-y
Late at night while you're sleepin' poison ivy comes a'creepin' Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
