When Lily Came Lyrics - Darling

Music and Lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver
Darling the Musical - When Lily Came Lyrics


URSULA:
When Lily came
I was in my bed
Ooh
I felt a draft
And peered cross my Bible
And there
Lily stood
A goddess in bodice and hood
Then she drew a finger to her lips
And she hushed the air past her fingertips
And she said:

LILY:
I'm gonna make you dance for me
I’m gonna make you dance
I'm gonna make you dance
Gonna make you dance
Gonna make you dance

URSULA:
Then Lily came
Dragged me from that bed
Ooh
She bound my hands
My eyes with a blindfold
And down
Down
Down to the street
We flew fleetly
Completely discreet
'Til at last we came to this very club
She removed my binds, and said:

LILY:
"Darling, the tub is this way
I’m gonna make you dance for me
I'm gonna make you dance
I'm gonna make you dance
Gonna make you dance
Gonna make you dance
I'm gonna make you dance

URSULA: Make me dance...
LILY: Gonna make you dance
URSULA: Make me dance...?
LILY: Gonna make you dance
URSULA: Gonna make me dance?!
LILY: Right, my dear, lose the dress"

URSULA:
She said--

LILY:
"Try this on, it's beautiful, yes?"

URSULA:
I'd never worn less and I hung my head low
When Lily informed me of the ten o'clock show

But I said no
I said no
I said no, I said no!
I said no! No! No no no no no!

'Round Lily came
Near a dozen girls

GIRLS: Hoo

URSULA:
Beads on each breast
Each limb
Glove and garter
Desire

GIRLS: Desire, desire, desire

URSULA:
On each face
To suture my future with lace
But as they stroked my skin
I sensed sympathy

GIRLS: Aahh, sympathy

URSULA:
As though she had done to them
What she did to me
And they cried...!

GIRLS: I cried, I cried, I cried...

ALL:
Lily made me dance for her
Lily made me dance

URSULA:
My legs began to melt
And as I dressed, I felt
In a sort of trance
And I began to dance!

ALL GIRLS: Dance for her!

LILY: Dance

ALL GIRLS: Lily made me dance!

LILY: You dance!

ALL GIRLS:
Dance for them. Dance for them
Dance for the gentlemen

LILY: Yes, dance

ALL GIRLS:
Dance for them. Dance for them
Dance for the gentlemen

LILY: Yeah, dance, yeah yeah yeah

ALL GIRLS: It was the end

LILY:
Oh, Darling, don’t you wanna dance with me?

URSULA:
Despite my plea
And when she made me dance
When Lily made me dance
That was the end
That was the end
Of me
