Found these words. Can't vouch for them entirely, but they seem to fit with my memory of The Coasters' tune.LOVE POTION NO. 9
Jerry Lieber & Mike Stoller
As recorded by The Clovers, 1959.I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth.
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth.
She's got a pad on Thirty-Fourth and Vine,
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine.I told her that I was a flop with chicks.
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 mix 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 a cop at Thirty-Fourth and Vine,
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine.Not near a guitar right now, so I'm not sure of the chords, but I think it's only two or three, likely I, II, V. I really can't hear a IV chord in there in my mind's ear.
