As sure as anything, as sure as I can be

That 99 percent, pure as Ivory

I caught the scent, followed the smell of it

Couldn't ignore it. Hey, why did you pick on me?

What's that pretty flower I see?

Tall and wild it waves at me

Mother says it's just a weed

Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
Fm D# C# A#
Growing Wild, not in the city. Gave me an allergy

I can't explain it. Maybe I shouldn't try to

And mothers' warning, useless to me

Another blonde, not from the city, gave me an allergy.
Fm D# C# A#
And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily
