All Choked Up (Broadway/Original Cast Version/1972)

Wow, Sandy

Do you ever look cool!

Wicked!

So you noticed, huh?

Tell me about it, stud

Hey, wait

Well, I feel so strange

(Come on, Zuko, say something!)

Well, upon my word

Now my brain is reeling

And my eyesight's blurred

Well, I tremble a lot

I'm nervous and I'm hot

Oh, I'm all choked up

There's a fire alarm wailing in my head

And my circulation cries

"Condition red"

I'm in a cold sweat

My T-shirt's all wet

Uh-huh, I'm all choked up

Oh baby baby baby

Take my heart

Before it breaks

My knees are weak

And my backbone quakes

My hands are colder than ice

My throat is locked in a vice

C'mon, change my pain

To paradise

Well, there's a fever heat

Running through my skin

Don't you hear me knocking

Won't you let me in?

You know I'm your fool

Ah, so don't you be cruel

Uh-huh, I'm all choked up

(Now listen here)

So you're spinnin' 'round

In a dizzy spell

It's a situation I know pretty well

Well, I've been there too

So I feel for you

Uh-huh, I'm all choked up

(Hey pretty boy)

So you're down and out

You're against a wall

And you're saying I'm the one that did it all

Well, I'm sure you're sincere

Uh-huh, it gets me right here

Oh, I'm all choked up

Oh baby, take it slow

And don't complain

My poor heart just can't stand the strain

I can cure your disease

Come on and say pretty please

Take your medicine

Down on your knees

Oh, got a fever

A hundred four Fahrenheit

I need your loving

Can I come over tonight?

Feeling low down

My equilibrium shot

Give me the tranquilizer you've got

Oh baby, take my ring

'Cause you're my match

(Well, I still think there's strings attached)

You're writing my epitaph

(Oh, that's just tough and a half)

You're gonna make me die

(Don't make me laugh)

Well I might forgive what you put me through

'Cause I do believe you really love me too

I look in your eyes

The sufferin' dies

Uh-huh, I'm all choked up

Hey, hey, hey yeah

I'm all choked up

Hey hey hey, yeah

I'm all choked up
