(Serve it up)<br />
I took my troubles<br />
Down to Madame Ruth<br />
(And drink it down)<br />
You know that gypsy<br />
With the gold-capped tooth<br />
<br />
She's got a storefront<br />
At Thirty-Fourth and Vine<br />
Selling little bottles of<br />
Love potion number nine<br />
<br />
(Serve it up)<br />
Love potion number nine<br />
(And drink it down)<br />
<br />
(Serve it up)<br />
I told her that I<br />
Was a flop with chicks<br />
(And drink it down)<br />
I've been that way<br />
Since 1966<br />
<br />
She looked at my palm<br />
And she made a magic sign<br />
She said, what you need is<br />
Love potion number nine<br />
<br />
(Serve it up)<br />
Love potion number nine<br />
(And drink it down)<br />
<br />
She bent down and turned<br />
Around and gave me a wink<br />
She said, I'm gonna mix it up<br />
Right here in the sink<br />
<br />
It smelled like turpentine<br />
And looked like Indian ink<br />
I held my nose, I closed my eyes<br />
I took a drink<br />
<br />
(Serve it up)<br />
I didn't know if<br />
It was day or night<br />
(And drink it down)<br />
I started kissing<br />
Everything in sight<br />
<br />
But when I kissed a cop<br />
Down at Thirty-Fourth and Vine<br />
He broke my little bottles of<br />
Love potion number nine<br />
<br />
(Serve it up)<br />
Love potion number nine<br />
(And drink it down)<br />
<br />
Serve it up<br />
And drink it down<br />
Serve it up<br />
And drink it down<br />
Serve it up<br />
And drink it down...
