Lyrics

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
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 bobbin'
To the throbbin' 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
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 derry-ferry
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?
Ah
Nothing the matter with it, put it away please
Maybe it's my back
Maybe it is
Shall I lie down?
Yes
Ah
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
Put two and two together
What?
If you have eyes to see
Yes?
The face that makes my pulses race
Is right in front of me
Ooh, 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
Boom-boody-boom-boody-boom-boody-boom
Goodness gracious
How audacious
Goodness gracious
How flirtatious
Goodness gracious
It is me
It is you?
I'm sorry, it is us
Ah
