Lyrics for the song "Love Portion No. 9" by the Searchers:

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
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 portion Number Nine

I told her that I was a flop with chics
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 Portion 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 pink
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-Fouth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Portion 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
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love portion Number Nine
Love portion Number Nine
Love portion Number Nine
Love portion Number Nine
