Love Potion No. 9

Here's a song for today:

Love Potion Number Nine

The Clovers, The Searchers

 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 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 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
 ------ guitar solo ------
 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
 Love Potion Number Nine
 Love Potion Number Nine
 Love Potion Number Nine


Hmmm. Reminds me of my childhood.

But, in the end, Rachel stole the day. By making her own YouTube channel. I feel so left out. And it's all my fault. I'm the only Giles kid without his/her own YouTube performances. Which I guess makes sense. 'Cause I'm not even a Giles anymore. *sniff sniff*
