Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered
Ella Fitzgerald
After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy I'm awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy
I don't even shake
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again
beguiled again
a simpering whimpering child again
bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I
couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep
when love came and told me
I shouldn't sleep
Bewiched bothered and bewildered
Am I
lost my heart, but what of it?
he is cold, I agree
he can laugh, but I love it
Althought the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day
when I'll cling to him,
Bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I.
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I've sinned a lot
I'm mean a lot
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I
I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And worship the trousers
that cling to him
Bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I
When he talks
He is seeking
word to get
Off his chest
Horizontally speaking
he's at his very best
vexed again
perplexed again
thank God, I can be oversexed again
bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I
Wise at last
My eyes at last
Are cutting you down to your size at least
bewitched bothered and bewildered
no more
Burned a lot
But learned a lot
And now you are broke so you earned a lot
bewitched bothered and bewildered no more
Couldnt eat
Was dispeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my heart's antiseptic since you move out of there
Romance finis
your chance finis
Those ants that invaded my pants finis
bewitched bothered and bewildered
no more
