Song lyrics


I've been listening to a lot of great tunes lately and I'd like to share. But.... I don't think the big record companies would like me to share all the great tunes I like in .mp3 format. I still hope they'll allow me to post lyrics. First song is "Bewitched". I'm not going to write the song in it's whole since I'm not sure I'd like to sing all the verses. This is a song by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers. If you'd like to listen to it, look for Ella or Sarah's versions, although Mel Torme's and Rosemary Clooney's are also worth an ear.

"Bewitched"

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
