Oh doctor I'm in trouble (well goodness gracious me)
                                                 D
For every time a certain man is standing next to me
                                C               G
A flush comes to my face and my pulse begins to race
        G                     D
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
      A                     D

                                                           D
You see my stethoscope is bobbing to the throbbing of your heart
                            C              G
What kind of man is he to create this allergy
        G                     D

Well goodness gracious me

Bridge 1
Em                                  A
From New Delhi to Darjeeling I have done my share of healing
         Em                          D
And I've never yet been beaten or outboxed
    Em                             A
I remember that with one jab of my needle in the Punjab
      Em             A            D
How I cleared up beriberi and the dreaded dysentery
    Em                 D                   D
But your complaint has got me really foxed

Verse 3
D                                A
Oh doctor touch my fingers (well goodness gracious me)
                                             D
You may be very clever but however can't you see
                                  C              G
My heart beats much too much at a certain tender touch
        G                     D
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
      A                     D
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
G                     D
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
N/C
Well goodness gracious me

Interlude (basically spoken with quiet music background)
D
Can I see your tongue....aaah

Nothing the matter with it put it away please

Maybe it's my back....maybe it is
                    Em
Shall I lie down....yes...ahhhh

Bridge 2
Em                             A
My initial diagnosis rules out measles and thrombosis
         Em                           D
Sleeping sickness and as far as I can tell
    Em                          A
Influenza inflammation whooping cough and night starvation
           Em            A                   D
And you'll be so glad to hear that both your eyeballs are so clear
           Em         D                       D
That I can positively swear that you are well

Verse 4 to outro
D                                            A
Put two and two together if you have eyes to see
                                                        D
The face that makes my pulses race is right in front of me
                                    C                G
Oh there is nothing I can do for my heart is pumping too
         G                     D
Oh we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
      A                     D
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom
G                     D
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
A
Goodness gracious how audacious
A
Goodness gracious how flirtatious
A
Goodness gracious

(Spoken)
It is me....it is you....
                         A  D
Ah I'm sorry it is us....ahhh
