Ella Fitzgerald Bewitched Lyrics

Bewitched Lyrics

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
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

Lost 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 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
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 I

Wise 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 you are broke, so you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more

Couldn`t eat, was dispeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my heart`s antiseptic
Since you moved out of there

Romance, finis.  Your chance, finis.
Those ants that invaded my pants, finis.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
