Ella Fitzgerald 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 dyspeptic,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
