Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996), also known as Lady Ella (the First Lady of Song), was one of the most influential jazz singers of the 20th Century, the winner of thirteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Art presented by President Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom presented by the elder President Bush. Gifted with a three-octave vocal range, she was noted for her purity of tone, near faultless phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. Although considered by many to be simply the best, some critics have suggested that, whilst not exactly "phoning in the lyrics", she occasionally failed to put the required emotional investment into her interpretations. She remains, however, one of the most successful, influential and enduringly popular singers of the last century.

Bewitched Lyrics
Ella Fitzgerald
After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy, Im awake
With no bromo-seltzer handy
I dont even shake
Men are not a new sensation
Ive done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
Im wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Couldnt sleep and wouldnt sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldnt sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laughs on me
Ill sing to him, each spring to him
And long, for the day when Ill cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Hes a fool and dont I know it
But a fool can have his charms
Im in love and dont I show it
Like a babe in arms
Loves the same old sad sensation
Lately Ive not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
Ive sinned a lot, Im mean a lot
But Im like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Ill sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
When he talks, he is seeking
Words to get, off his chest
Horizontally speaking, hes at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again
Thank god, I can be oversexed again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Wise at last, my eyes at last,
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Burned a lot, but learned a lot
And now you are broke, so you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Couldnt eat, was dispeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my hearts antiseptic
Since you moved out of there
Romance, finis. your chance, finis.
Those ants that invaded my pants, finis.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
