Hi Tbonegirl,

Here you are!

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (Alternate title:
Bewitched)
Introduced by Vivienne Segal in the 1940 musical, "Pal Joey".

VERSE

After one whole quart of brandy,*
Like a daisy I 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.

REFRAIN 1

I'm wild again,
Beguilded again,
A simpering, whimpering child again-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.
Couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.
Lost my heart, but what of it?
My mistake, I agree.
He's a laugh, but I love it
Because the laugh's on me.
A pill he is,
But still he is
All mine and I'll keep him until he is
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered
Like me.

REFRAIN 2

Seen a lot-
I mean a lot-
But now 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't be oversexed again-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

REFRAIN 3

Sweet again,
Petite again,
And on my proverbial seat again-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.
What am I?
Half shot am I.
To think that he loves me
So hot am I-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.
Though at first we said, “No, sir,”
Now we’re two little dears.
You might say we are closer
Than Roebuck is to Sears.
I’m dumb again
And numb again,
A rich, ready, ripe little plum again-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

ENCORE

You know,
It is really quite funny
Just how quickly he learns
How to spend all the money
That Mr. Simpson earns.
He’s kept enough,
He’s slept enough,
And yet where it counts
He’s adept enough-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

*In the published script the first four lines of song are:
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.

You Took Advantage Of Me
Published April 1928.
Introduced by Joyce Barbour, Busby Berkeley, and ensemble in the 1928 musical, "Present Arms"

VERSE 1

Douglas:
In the spring when the feeling was chronic
And my caution was leaving you flat,
I should have made use of the tonic
Before you gave me that!
A mental deficient you'll grade me.
I've given you plenty of data.
You came, you saw and you slayed me,
And that-a is that-a!

REFRAIN

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all.
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will,
You've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow.
So what's the use,
You've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear.
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near.
Here am I with all my bridges burned,
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned,
So lock the doors
And call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me.

VERSE 2

Edna:
When a girl has the heart of a mother
It must go to someone, of course;
It can't be a sister or brother
And so I loved my horse.
But horses are frequently silly-
Mine ran from the beach of Kailua
And left me alone for a filly,
So I-a picked you-a.

REPEAT REFRAIN
