(She) Oh! Doctor, I’m in trouble (He) Well, goodness gracious me!
(She) For ev’ry time a certain man is standing next to me,
A flush comes to my face and my pulse begins to race.
It goes boom ditty boom ditty boom, ditty,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom. (He) Well, goodness gracious me!
(He) How often does this happen? When did the trouble start?
My stethescope is bobbing to the throbbing of your heart!
What kind of man is he to create this allergy?
It goes boom ditty boom ditty boom, ditty,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom. Well, goodness gracious me!
From 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 beri beri and the dreaded dysentery
But your complaint has got me really foxed!
(She) Oh doctor touch my fingers (He) Well, goodness gracious me!
(She) 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 ditty boom ditty boom ditty,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom. (He) Well, goodness gracious me!
(He) 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!
(She) Put two and two together if you have eyes to see
The face that makes my pulses race is right in front of me!
(He) There’s nothing I can do for my heart is jumping too.
(Both) We go boom ditty boom ditty boom, ditty,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom boom boom,
Boom ditty boom ditty boom ditty boom.
(She) Well, goodness gracious (He) How audacious!
(She) Goodness gracious! (He) How flirtatious!
(She) Goodness gracious! (He) It is me!VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
