"There are things in Doris's life, but then there are in everyone's. She opens her little mouth, She sings her little song. Like a flag it folds out across the city, and it goes: "The old man becomes an ice-skater... A maniac becomes a stepfather... I watch a policeman's mouth - out comes an honest word." Miracles happen when Doris sings. Couples in love stop dead in their tracks. Dishes clatter to the ground unbroken. Politicians die."
