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 (Ooh)
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 (Ooh)
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?
Ahh
Nothing the matter with it, put it away, please
Maybe it's my back
Maybe it is
Shall I lie down?
Yes
Ahh
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
Ahh
