Sophia Loren - Secrets of Rome - Italien - Italy

Goodness Gracious Me

[Her:]
Oh doctor, I'm in trouble
[Him:]
Well, goodness gracious me!
[Her:]
For every time a certain man
Is standing next to me
[Him:]
Mmm?
[Her:]
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
[Him:]
Oh!
[Her:]
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
[Him:]
Well, goodness gracious me!

[Him:]
How often does this happen?
When did the trouble start?
You see, my stethoscope is bobbing
To the throbbing of your heart
[Her:]
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
[Him:]
Oh!
[Her:]
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
[Him:]
Well, goodness gracious me!

[Him:]
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!
[Her:]
Oh!

[Her:]
Oh doctor, touch my fingers!
[Him:]
Well, goodness gracious me!
[Her:]
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
[Him:]
I like it!
[Her:]
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
[Him:]
Well, goodness gracious me!

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

[Him:]
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!

[Her:]
Put two and two together
[Him:]
Four
[Her:]
If you have eyes to see
The face that makes my pulses race
Is right in front of me
[Him:]
Oh, there is nothing I can do
For my heart is jumping too
[Both:]
Oh, we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
[Her:]
Goodness gracious!
[Him:]
How audacious!
[Her:]
Goodness gracious!
[Him:]
How flirtatious!
[Her:]
Goodness gracious!
[Him:]
It is me!
[Her:]
It is you?
[Him:]
Ah, I'm sorry, it is us!
[Both:]
Ahhh!
