### **"Poison Ivy and Pajamas"**  
*(A playful, upbeat country song with a lively tempo, twangy acoustic guitar, banjo, and fiddle to keep it fun and lighthearted)*  

**Verse 1**  
It was picnic day, the skies were blue,  
Mama packed the basket, we had so much to do.  
I ran through the trees, the world felt free,  
Till Mama said, “Tinkle behind a tree!”  
I found a bush, thought I’d keep it discreet,  
Never guessed trouble was under my feet.  
Oh, little did I know, my shy little plan,  
Would lead to the itchy fate I couldn’t withstand!  

**Chorus**  
Poison ivy and pajamas, what a sight to see,  
My butt was itchy, and they tied my hands to set me free!  
Mama blew on my bottom, Daddy took a turn,  
A fan from Grandma kept my backside from burnin’.  
Oh, poison ivy and pajamas, my tale’s one of a kind,  
A childhood story that’ll blow your mind!  


**Verse 2**  
A week went by, I was feeling fine,  
Till my butt cheek itched like a porcupine.  
Didn’t tell Mama, thought, “It’s no big deal,”  
So I scratched and I scratched, oh, the pain got real.  
In kindergarten class, I couldn’t take it no more,  
I told my teacher, she just about hit the floor!  
She lifted my dress, and gasped in shock,  
Said, “Get to the principal, and call your Mom!”  

**Chorus**  
Poison ivy and pajamas, what a sight to see,  
My butt was itchy, and they tied my hands to set me free!  
Mama blew on my bottom, Daddy took a turn,  
A fan from Grandma kept my backside from burnin’.  
Oh, poison ivy and pajamas, my tale’s one of a kind,  
A childhood story that’ll blow your mind!  


**Bridge**  
Penicillin shots? Oh, that made it worse,  
Hives broke out, it felt like a curse.  
Couldn’t wear panties, had a scabby behind,  
Mama washed it gently, the only relief I’d find.  
Trap door open on my PJs, oh what a scene,  
When the TV man came, I kept my butt unseen!  


**Verse 3**  
They said, “No more school, you’ll stay right here,”  
With the fan blowing strong, I had nothing to fear.  
Mama and Dad, oh, their love was clear,  
They kept me laughing through that itchy year.  
Now when I look back, I have to smile,  
Their care for my bottom made it all worthwhile!  

**Chorus**  
Poison ivy and pajamas, what a sight to see,  
My butt was itchy, and they tied my hands to set me free!  
Mama blew on my bottom, Daddy took a turn,  
A fan from Grandma kept my backside from burnin’.  
Oh, poison ivy and pajamas, my tale’s one of a kind,  
A childhood story that’ll blow your mind!  


**Outro**  
Now I laugh at the memory, it turned out okay,  
No scars on my bottom, just stories to say.  
Poison ivy and pajamas, it’s a legend I own,  
The love of my parents made their care well known!  


Poison ivy and pajamas, what a sight to see,  
Poison ivy and pajamas, good greif!
