Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
Helen Merrill
After one whole quart of brandy,
Like a daisy I탢??m awake.
With no Bromo Seltzer handy,
I don탢??t even shake.
Men are not a new sensation,
I탢??ve done pretty well I think,
But this half pint imitation
Put me on the blink.
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I.
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I.
I lost my heart, but what of it, he is cold I agree
He might laugh, but I love it, although the laugh's on me.
I'll sing to him, bring spring to him
And long, for the day when I'll cling to him.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I.
He탢??s a fool and don탢??t I know it,
But a fool can have his charms,
I탢??m in love and don탢??t I know it,
Like a babe in arms.
Love탢??s the same old sad sensation,
Lately I탢??ve not slept a wink,
Since this half pint imitation,
Put me on the blink.
I탢??ve sinned a lot, I mean a lot,
But I탢??m like sweet seventeen a lot,
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I.
I탢??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
He탢??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.
Couldn탢??t eat, was dyspeptic,
Life was so hard to bear,
Now my heart탢??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
