This 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.
C Gdim Dm Cdim
I'll sing to him, each spring to him,
C E7 Fmaj7 Fdim
And long for the day when I'll cling to him -
C D7 Dm7 G7 C C/B A7 Gdim
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I,
C Gdim Dm7 Cdim
Couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep,
C E7 Fmaj7 Fdim
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep -
C D7 G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.
Dm
Lost my heart, but what of it?
Am
He is cold, I agree;
Dm G7
He can laugh, but I love it,
Em Edim Dm7 G7
Although the laugh's on me.
C Gdim Dm Cdim
I'll sing to him, each spring to him,
C E7 Fmaj7 Fdim
And long for the day when I'll cling to him -
C D7 Dm7 G7 C C/B A7 Gdim
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I,
Fdim C D7 Dm7 G7 C Fdim C
Be - witched, bothered and bewildered am I.
C Gdim Dm7 Cdim
I've sinned a lot, I'm mean a lot
C E7 Fmaj7 Fdim
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
C D7 G7 Dm7 G7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Dm
Lost my heart, but what of it?
Am
My mistake I agree
Dm G7
He's a laugh, but I love it
Em Edim Dm7 G7
Because the laugh's on me.
C Gdim Dm7 Cdim
I'll sing to him, each spring to him,
C E7 Fmaj7 Fdim
And worship the trousers that cling to him.
C D7 G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I.
Fdim C D7 Dm7 G7 C Fdim C
Be - witched, bothered and bewildered am I.
