Lyrics

[RITA MARSHALL, sung] I like what she's doing This might be a thing She's giving it feeling She's making it sing She's fun but profound Let's not shove this down I like what she's doing What she's selling I'm buying It's something we need I love that she's trying Let's follow her lead We were flat on our back But now we're on track She'll polish this turd Into treasure somehow Just maybe if Dorothy keeps doing What she's doing now [spoken] Well, we got work to do God knows how we got this far But ready or not We move into the theater tomorrow [CARL, spoken] Alright kiddos It's your favorite stage manager, Carl Break's over! We're gonna rehearse The new Juliet-Nurse scene Everyone else, there is a revised Schedule on the board Don't forget to sign back in! Dorothy, July, the stage is yours! [JULIE NICHOLS, spoken] He saw your motionless hair And your avocado figure And I lost the man I loved [DOROTHY MICHAELS, spoken] To be fair, dear You did kill the last one Juliet, don't I deserve a chance At a future that celebrates me? Oh, this is really good! Are you okay with all this? [JULIE NICHOLS, spoken] Are you kidding? [sung] I love what we're saying I'm smiling at last It's great how we're playing I'm having a blast I trust you completely So does the whole cast We like what you're doing [MALE PLAYWRIGHT] She's got something special That makes you engaged [FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT, sung] It's almost electric When she hits the stage [RITA MARSHALL, sung] And I can't explain it She's taking this turkey And making it work [RITA MARSHALL & PLAYWRIGHTS, sung] And I can't tell you how But, honey, I hope she keeps doing What she's doing now [DOROTHY MICHAELS, spoken] Rita, oh forget the renaissance I'm thinking all new costumes 50's, Fellini, fabulous [RITA MARSHALL, spoken] Dorothy, I love it [RON CARLISLE, sung] She won't take directions She's changing the play She's like an infection That won't go away She just wants to fight me She does it to spite me I hate what she's doing It's very traumatic I'm really upset She's bringing up memories I need to forget She's stealing my girl She's stealing my show And I'm ready to blow All because of that cow Goddamnit! She's gotta stop doing What she's doing now [MAX VAN HORN, spoken] Ok, Max New clothes, New lines You got this! [JULIE NICHOLS, spoken] If you take her You better take care of her! [MAX VAN HORN, spoken] I will devote my life to her happiness I love her [DOROTHY MICHAELS, spoken] Mean it! [MAX VAN HORN, spoken] I will devote my life to her happiness I love her [DOROTHY MICHAELS, spoken] I don't believe it! [MAX VAN HORN, spoken] I will devote my life to her happiness I love her! [DOROTHY MICHAELS, spoken] Well done max [MAX VAN HORN, spoken] Hey, I like what she's doing She's got so much heart She's so friggin sexy And so frickin' smart She's made me an actor She's built like a tractor I like what she's doing [Ensemble] We totally need her I love her because She's always a leader Whatever she does Something was missing And she's what it was I mean everyone's standing When she takes her bows God, really I hope she keeps doing What she's doing now [JULIE NICHOLS, spoken] How will I live without you here? [DOROTHY MICHAELS, spoken] Happily, Juliet Departing is such sweet sorrow [JULIE NICHOLS, spoken] Then let's gather by the fountain So we can all say arrivederci! [RITA MARSHALL, spoken] Dorothy, You have turned this show Into a joyous anthem for all women So, I am officially changing the title From "Juliet's Curse" to "Juliet's Nurse" [DOROTHY MICHAELS, sung] I won't let you down Because you believed in me And now anybody can see I'm really alive I'll never let you down I'm no longer empty inside I filled up my cup I never gave up And now I can soar To the heavens and higher [ENSEMBLE, sung] I hope she keeps doing What she's doing right Removing our tears Relieving our fears And when the smoke clears We'll still have careers So what's not to love? [DOROTHY MICHAELS, sung] I give you my word I won't let you... [ENSEMBLE, sung] I like what she's doing [DOROTHY MICHAELS, sung] ...down [ENSEMBLE, sung] I like what she's doing What she's doing
