Love potion no. 9

(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 at 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of
Love Potion Number Nine

I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I'd 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 and looked like India 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 the cop down at 34th and Vine

He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
小时候随母亲上街，母亲常在小巷里印度裔的摊位上驻足。这些摊子摆卖些眼镜、首饰、丝巾、化妆品。我注意到有一些绿色小瓶子静静的躺在首饰中。打开盖子，诡异的气味久久不散。当时当然不知道那是廉价香水。

后来，不晓得为什么一听到这首歌，就会想到那些绿色小瓶子。
