Lyrics Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered

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 ICouldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep

When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am ILost my heart, but what of it

He is cold I agree

He can laugh, but I love it

Although 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 IHe'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 II'll sing to him, each spring to him

And worship the trousers that cling to him

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am IWhen he talks, he is seeking

Words 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 IWise at last, my eyes at last, Are cutting you down to your size at last

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more

Burned a lot, but learned a lot

And now
