As sure as anything
As sure as I can be
That 99 %, 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 said it's just a weed
Golden Rod, Golden Rod

Growing wild, not in the city
Gave me an allergy
And my reaction's what's gonna happen
It gets no help from me

I can't explain it
Maybe I shouldn't try to
That old genetic code,
Had a hold on me
We coincided, ran head long into it
And mothers' warning, useless to me

What's that pretty flower I see?
Tall and wild it waves at me
Mother said it's just a weed
Golden Rod, Golden Rod

Another blonde, not from the city
Gave me an allergy
Well you can see me drinking the poison
Taking it happily

What's that pretty flower I see?
Tall and wild it waves at me
Mother said it's just a weed
Golden Rod, Golden Rod

Another blonde, not from the city
gave me an allergy
And my reaction's
What's gonna happen
It gets not help from me
 [bad word] wild, not in the city
gave me an alleregy
And my reaction's
What's gonna happen
It gets no help from

Well you will see me
Drinking the poison 
taking it happily
 [bad word] wild [bad word] wild

Another blonde not from the city
Drinking the poison
Taking it happily

Not from the city

Golden Rod
