Oh Doris the songs of joy you gave us

and the fabulous movies you graced

I was Bewitched by your Precious Love

As we were Making Whoopie on

The Black Hills of Dakota,

whilst on a Sentimental Journey.

 

Night and Day you were the Teachers Pet

Oh Close your Eyes and Fly me to the Moon

Move over Darling and let us share our Secret Love

once again.

 

I will sing you the Lullaby of Broadway

Then after some Pillow Talk, sleep well

sweetheart and Dream a little dream of Me.

 

I’m Ready, Willing and Able Doris,

so Let’s face the music and Dance,

take to the dance floor one last time

and Rip crack Away!

And remember you are a much loved movie star,

singer and heroine, so

Please Don’t eat the Daisies. RIP
