xThis is a version from the movie The History Boys. [info via Wikipedia]: "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" is a show tune and popular song from the 1940 Rodgers and Hart musical Pal Joey. The song was introduced by Vivienne Segal in the 1940 Broadway production. The original lyrics present an unabashed celebration of feminine sexuality that has been bowdlerized in most covers to remove the song's blatant sexual allusions. One such line is "When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep," replacing the original "Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep"; another switch changed "And worship the trousers that cling to him" to "And long for the day I'll cling to him." The lyric "horizontally speaking, he's at his best" is often sung, "Harsh until he's speaking..." A reprise, including the line "Those ants that invaded my pants," is generally omitted entirely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dm7 G7 CM7 Am7 He's a fool and don't I know it Dm7 G7 CM7 A7 But a fool can have his charms Dm7 G7 Em7 Am9 I'm in love and don't I show it Dm7 G9 CM7 A7 Like a babe in arms Dm7 G7 CM7 Am7 Love's the same old sad sensation Dm7 G7 CM7 A7 Lately I've not slept a wink Dm7 G7 Em7 Am9 since this half-pint imitation Dm7 G9 CM7 A7 put me on the blink C Gdim Dm7 Cdim I'm wild again, beguiled again, C E7 Fmaj7 Fdim A simpering, whimpering child again - C D7 G7 Dm7 G7 Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.
