[Interlude]
Dm7             Em7      A7    
After one whole quart of brandy
Dm7           Em7  A7  
Like a daisy, I'm awake
Dm7           Em7     A9   
With no bromo-seltzer handy
Dm7          G7   
I don't even shake
Dm7           Em7     A7   
Men are not a new sensation
Dm7              Em7    A7   
I've done pretty well I think
Dm7                Em7  A9  
But this half-pint imitation
Dm7           G7   
Put me on the blink

[Verse 1]
    Cmaj7     C#dim  Dm7         D#dim
I'm wild again,    beguiled again
  Em7        E7         Fmaj7      F#dim
A simpering, whimpering child again
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       G7 A7 Dm7 G7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Cmaj7        C#dim Dm7           D#dim
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
     Em7           E7         Fmaj7          F#dim
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Em7 A7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Dm         Dm(maj7)     Dm7   Dm6
Lost my heart, but what of it?
Am         Am(maj7)  Am7   Am6
He is cold I agree
Dm7         G7      Dm7    G7
He can laugh, but I love it
             Em7     EbdimDm7 G7
Although the laugh's on me
     Cmaj7     C#dim   Dm7          D#dim
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
    Em7            E7            Fmaj7      F#dim
And long, for the day when I'll cling to him
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       G7    C6 Em7 A7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

[Interlude]
Dm7             Em7     A7     
He's a fool and don't I know it
Dm7            Em7      A7    
But a fool can have his charms
Dm7             Em7     A9     
I'm in love and don't I show it
Dm7            G7  
Like a babe in arms
Dm7                 Em7    A7    
Love's the same old sad sensation
Dm7              Em7    A7  
Lately I've not slept a wink
Dm7                  Em7 A9   
Since this half-pint imitation
Dm7           G7   
Put me on the blink

[Verse 2]
    Cmaj7       C#dim  Dm7       D#dim
I've sinned a lot, I'm mean a lot
    Em7            E7   Fmaj7     F#dim
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       G7 A7 Dm7 G7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
     Cmaj7     C#dim   Dm7          D#dim
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
    Em7         E7            Fmaj7       F#dim
And worship the trousers that cling to him
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Em7 A7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Dm         Dm(maj7)  Dm7    Dm6
When he talks, he is seeking
Am          Am(maj7)  Am7   Am6
Words to get, off his chest
Dm7    G7    Dm7     G7
Horizontally speaking,
            Em7 EbdimDm7 G7
he's at his very best
Cmaj7     C#dim Dm7        D#dim
Vexed again, perplexed again
Em7          E7         Fmaj7      F#dim
Thank god, I can be oversexed again
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       G7    C6 Am7 Dm7 G7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

[Verse 3]
Cmaj7     C#dim  Dm7          D#dim
Wise at last, my eyes at last,
    Em7         E7           Fmaj7       F#dim
Are cutting you down to your size at last
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       G7 A7 Dm7 G7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Cmaj7      C#dim  Dm7          D#dim
Burned a lot, but learned a lot
    Em7         E7            Fmaj7       F#dim
And now you are broke, so you earned a lot
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Em7 A7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Dm         Dm(maj7)  Dm7   Dm6
Couldn't eat, was dispeptic
Am         Am(maj7) Am7   Am6
Life was so hard to bear
Dm7         G7     Dm7   G7
Now my heart's antiseptic
          Em7   Ebdim  Dm7 G7
Since you moved out of there
Cmaj7        C#dim   Dm7          D#dim
Romance, finis. your chance, finis.
      Em7         E7       Fmaj7       F#dim
Those ants that invaded my pants, finis.
  C/G      Ebdim        Dm7       G7    C6  
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
