Fitzgerald Ella Ghosts Lyrics

Ghosts 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
