Composition

Lyrics

The song discusses a girl known as \"Poison Ivy\". She is compared to measles, mumps, chickenpox, the common cold, and whooping cough, but is deemed worse, because \"Poison Ivy, Lord, will make you itch\". According to lyricist Jerry Leiber, \"Pure and simple, 'Poison Ivy' is a metaphor for a sexually transmitted disease\". The song also makes references to other flowers such as a rose and a daisy.\n

Notable cover versions

Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs – Australia number 1 in 1964. It famously kept the Beatles from the number 1 spot on the Sydney charts at the very moment that the group was making its first and only tour of Australia—a feat which resulted in Thorpe being invited to meet the Fab Four at their hotel.
The Rolling Stones - In January 1964 they released the single \"You Better Move On\" which had \"Poison Ivy\" has the B-side.
The Lambrettas – 1980. They reached number 7 in the British charts.
Golden Boys – in Portuguese, as \"Erva Venenosa\", in 1965, with the version's lyrics portraying an evil woman. Covered by Brazilian pop band Herva Doce in 1982, and Rita Lee on her album 3001 in 2000.
