Dispensed by Marjory the Trash Heap (who also has several lesser grades), the love potion is a liquid elixir which emits fumes, causing whoever sniffs the appealing scent to instantly fall in love with the potion's user. The potion's effects are sadly temporary, however, wearing off after 20 minutes. It bears the same name as the magic potion in the Searchers' 1960s hit, "Love Potion No. 9"

- The song describes a man seeking help to find love, so he talks to a Gypsy who determines, by means of palmistry, that he needs "love potion number 9". The potion causes him to fall in love with everything he sees, kissing whatever is in front of him, eventually kissing a policeman on the street-corner, who breaks his bottle of love potion. In one recorded version of the ending of the song, The Clovers used the alternative lyrics: "I had so much fun that I'm going back again, I wonder what a-happen with Love Potion Number Ten?"

The "kissing a cop" lyric led to the song being banned by some radio station. The lyrics also have the narrator describe himself as being "a flop with chicks since 1956"; later recordings of the song have often changed the year to suit the year of recording or the age of the performer.
