Wanda's Big Mistake

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Little Wanda graduated from the witch school late last spring

She got a diploma and a cauldron and a whole lot of everything

She read a book on love concoctions

Page sixty-nine was underlined

Said brew it up and watch the magic

But she missed the warning signs

Pre-Chorus

She never measured twice

She never read the fine print

She stirred it counterclockwise

And the kitchen started to hint

Chorus

Love potion sixty-nine

She made a mess tonight

Love potion sixty-nine

Nothing came out right

Oh the toad is in the punchbowl

And the broomstick's in the pie

Love potion sixty-nine

Lord have mercy on that girl

Verse 2

She grabbed a pinch of dragon pepper

And a cup of swampy goo

She added toenails from a lizard

That she found inside her shoe

The recipe said bat wing

But she used a chicken leg instead

Then the potion started bubbling

And it climbed above her head

Pre-Chorus

It turned a shade of purple

Then a green then back to red

It smelled like dirty socks and

Something rotten in the shed

Chorus

Love potion sixty-nine

She made a mess tonight

Love potion sixty-nine

Nothing came out right

Oh the toad is in the punchbowl

And the broomstick's in the pie

Love potion sixty-nine

Lord have mercy on that girl

Post-Chorus

Bubble bubble

Splash and pop

Bubble bubble

Never stop

Bridge

Well her cat drank up a saucer

Now he's sweet on the neighbor's hound

And her grandma's been a-singin

Since the potion spilled around

The mailman ran off screaming

With a goblin on his trail

And a chicken in the parlor

Started crowing like a whale

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

She tried to make a second batch

To fix the first mistake

But she sneezed into the mixture

And the whole darn house did shake

Now the furniture is floating

And the ceiling's on the lawn

Little Wanda's love potion

Has been way too far gone

Chorus

Love potion sixty-nine

She made a mess tonight

Love potion sixty-nine

Nothing came out right

Oh the toad is in the punchbowl

And the broomstick's in the pie

Love potion sixty-nine

Lord have mercy on that girl
