Special Doris Fairtrade Teatowels

Do get your tickets for Doris at The Library, some performances are selling out, some are selling fast. The only exception is Monday 28th, when I will be giving the performance of a life time to a sadly smaller audience. So get your friends, relatives, school parties, allotment societies, homeopaths, dentists and bank managers along. Also exciting news, this is as exciting as it gets at LipService, we are having special Fairtrade Desperate to be Doris tea towels made, which should arrive on Wednesday. Now go and lie down and absorb the thrilling news.

Song lyrics

Lyrics for Still I'm Burning Up (Steamed Up)
The choir do the “click click fsssss” bit. Maggie, Sue & Darren sing

(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
When I’m with you then passion starts to brew.

(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
Your love’s so hot it gets me in a stew
You get me kinda woozy
Your love is a jacuzzi
That bubbles and troubles me dear

You’re the kind of lass is
misting up my glasses
simply from having you near
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
Cause what you’ve got, it really gets me hot
Choir sing
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
Your love’s so hot it gets me in a stew
You get me kinda woozy
Your love is a jacuzzi
That bubbles and troubles me dear

And when the lights are dimmer
I really start to simmer
the moment I am holding you near
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
(click click fsssss ) I get steamed up
Cause what you’ve got, it really gets me hot

Maybe I really should take a cold shower.

Maybe I really should take a cold shower.

Maybe I really should take a cold shower.

Still I’m burning up.

Maybe I need a cool dip in ice water.

Maybe I need a cool dip in ice water.

Maybe I need a cool dip in ice water.

Before I blow my top!
Pause in music for clapping unaccompanied section
Take a cold shower. No no.
Dip in ice water. No no.
Ice? NO! Fire? 
YES! sssssss yes yes yes!
Cool me baby, I’m hot!!

Music comes back in.
Maybe I really should take a cold shower (Boink boink).

Maybe I really should take a cold shower (Boink boink).

Maybe I really should take a cold shower (Boink boink).
It really gets me hot!



Reprise of the “maybe I really should take a cold shower” section of music to cover the scene change.

Running order for songs

Running order for the songs in Desperate to be Doris is as follows:
Act One Que Sera, Secret Love; Act Two Steamed Up, Black Hills of Dakota, The Deadwood Stage, Enjoy Yourself. You have loads of time in between numbers in Act One, but Act Two you are back and forth to the stage quite swiftly. You were sounding fab last night and those daffodils circling round were a deep joy!

Deadwood Stage lyrics

The Deadwood Stage

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plains,
With the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the reins.
Beautiful sky! A wonderful day!
Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-headin' on over the hills,
where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills.
Dangerous land! No time to delay!
So, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!

(Chorus) We're headin' straight for town, loaded down, with a fancy cargo,
Care of Wells and Fargo, Illinois - Boy!

(Chorus)Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-comin' on over the crest,
Like a homing pigeon that's a-hankerin' after its nest.
twenty-three miles we've covered today.
So, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!


(Chorus)Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!

(Dean)Introducin' Henry Miller, just as busy as a fizzy sarsparilla
Ain't a showman and he's smarter, operates the Golden Garter
Where the cream of Deadwood City come to dine
And I'm glad to say he's a very good friend of mine

Hi Joe, say where d'you get them fancy clothes?
I know! Off some fellow's laundry line.
Hi Beau. Well aren't you the Prairie Rose,
Smelling like a watermelon vine.

Here's a man the Sheriff watches.
On his gun there's more 'n twenty-seven notches.
On the draw there's no-one faster
and you're flirting with disaster
when Bill Hickok's reputation you malign.
But I'm glad to say he's a very good friend, of a friend of mine.

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is entitled to rest today.
In the Golden Slipper the folks are chipper and gay.
Last to the bar’s a three legged crow,

Joy Set ‘em up, Joe, give me a shot of red eye!
(Chorus) Drinks on the house!
