Bewitched theme song lyrics

There are lyrics to the theme songs of lots of TV shows that normally aren't heard -- most famously, classic Star Trek (for which Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to Alexander Courage's instrumental theme so he could claim half the royalties).

Sometimes the lyrics are very good; I'm rather fond of the lyrics to the 1980s series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, which were only heard in the original movie but not in the series. You can see/hear it right here on YouTube.

As I've mentioned before, I'm also fond of the movie version of the TV series Bewitched. That movie's soundtrack does use the lyrics to the original TV theme ... but, looking at the versions of the lyrics turned up by Google, I noticed that the versions posted don't precisely match the delivery by Steve Lawrence on the movie's soundtrack. And so, for the record, here's what he actually sings:

Bewitched, bewitched, you've got me in your spell.

Bewitched, bewitched, you know your craft so well.

Before I knew what you were doing I looked in your eyes.

That brand of woo that you've been brew-in' took me by surprise.


You witch, you witch, one thing is for sure,

That stuff that you pitch -- just hasn't got a cure.


My heart was under lock and key -- but somehow it got unhitched.

I never thought my heart could be had.

But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad to be --

To be bewitched.

Bewitched. Bewitched.


Ah, ha ha ha ...


My heart was under lock and key -- but somehow it got unhitched.

I never thought my heart could be had.

But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad that you --

You do that crazy voodoo.

And I'm bewitched by you.
