Two Days of Doris Day

The weekend is here again And if I have my way I'm going to spend my spare time Watching films starring Doris Day In nineteen forty nine Ten years before I was born Doris starred with Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall In 'Young Man With A Horn' She appeared with Gene Nelson In 'Lullaby of Broadway’ And played Marjorie Winfield, a tomboy In the film 'On Moonlight Bay’ 'By The Light Of The Silvery Moon’ Is a film I’d always wanted to see It was a sequel with the same characters and cast And made in nineteen fifty three That same year she made 'Calamity Jane' A film I like very much Featuring songs 'Secret Love’ and 'The Deadwood Stage' Not forgetting 'A Woman’s Touch' My late mother’s favourite film was 'Young At Heart' In which Frank Sinatra played Barney Sloane Doris's co-stars were amongst others Gig Young and Dorothy Malone In fifty-six, Doris starred in Hitchcock's ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much' She first sang ‘Que Sera Sera' in this It had the Master of Suspense's sinister touch ‘The Pajama Game' is one of my favourites With the song ‘Hernando’s Hideaway' If Frank Sinatra had accepted the leading man role Janis Paige would have replaced Doris Day My favourites are the ones With Rock Hudson or James Garner as Doris's leading man Whether shown on terrestrial or cable I always try to watch them when I can I’m waiting for the postman He hasn’t been round yet Because I can’t wait till he delivers My Doris Day box-set
