Goodness Gracious Me!

Song Title: Goodness Gracious Me!
Artist: Peter Sellers feat Sophia Lorene

Oh doctor, I’m in trouble
Well, goodness gracious me!
For every time a certain man Is standing next to me.. Mmm?
A flush comes to my face and my pulse begins to race
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom .. Oh!
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Well, goodness gracious me!

How often does this happen?
When did the trouble start?
You see, my stethoscope is bobbing
To the throbbing of your heart

What kind of man is he, to create this allergy?
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom, Oh!
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Well, goodness gracious me!

From New Delhi to Darjeeling
I have done my share of healing
And I’ve never yet been beaten or outboxed
I remember that with one jab of my needle in the Punjab
How I cleared up beriberi and the dreaded dysentery
But your complaint has got me really foxed!.. Oh!

Oh doctor, touch my fingers!
Well, goodness gracious me!
You may be very clever but however can’t you see
My heart beats much too much at a certain tender touch
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom.. I like it!
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Well, goodness gracious me!

Can I see your tongue? Aaah
Nothing the matter with it, put it away please
Maybe it’s my back
Maybe it is
Shall I lie down? Yes!
Ahhh . . .

My initial diagnosis
Rules out measles and thrombosis
Sleeping sickness and, as far as I can tell
Influenza, inflammation
Whooping cough and night starvation
And you’ll be so glad to hear
That both your eyeballs are so clear
That I can positively swear
That you are well
Ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja!

Put two and two together.. four
If you have eyes to see, yes
The face that makes my pulses race
Is right in front of me

Oh, there is nothing I can do
For my heart is jumping too
Oh, we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom

Goodness gracious! How audacious!
Goodness gracious!
How flirtatious!
Goodness gracious!

It is me!
It is you?
Ah, I’m sorry, it is us!
Ahhh!
