   D          G       D

My body needs Calmine lotion.

   D          G            A7

My body's all red, you can see.

    D         G             D

The flowers I picked for my mommy,

       G         A7       D

Turned out to be poison ivy!

 

CHORUS:

D            G            A7                        D

Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch the leaves of three, of three!

D            G            A7                        D

Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch the leaves of three!
