"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.
