Somewhere In The Dough Lyrics

2023 West End
The Great British Bake Off Musical - Somewhere In The Dough Lyrics

The song is written by Pippa Cleary and Jake Brunger.

GEMMA:
Everybody seems to know what they're about
Everybody seems to be in little doubt
Everybody knows exactly what to do

HASSAN: (spoken)
Looks pretty simple to me!

GEMMA:
I can barely even say this Polish word
And I'm supposed to recreate one, it's absurd!
I have bitten off more than I can chew

I should be ready, excited, [?]
To be chosen, invited, onto such a hit
But I'll panic, I'll flap, is this really it?
Something's holding me back
I don't want to crack

GEMMA:
But there, somewhere in the dough
Someone I don't know
Where has she been hiding?
And she looks a bit like me
But there's an ingredient inside her I can't see
In the recipe of me

JIM: (spoken)
Gemma, you alright?
You've gone ever so red

GEMMA: (spoken)
Me? Oh yeah, must
Just be the oven

KIM: (spoken)
You haven't turned your oven on

GEMMA: (spoken)
Oh, balls!

Pretty different when you're baking on a set
When you've only ever had a basic kitchenette
And your only critic is your mum
She would relish every slice of cake I made
So I never once regretted that I stayed
She devoured every crumb

Every now and then I go out on a date
But it's hard to stay out late
When you're needed back at home
And then suddenly you find you're sort of stuck
Hanging our with Pete, your rubber duck
Where's that girl without a care?
Heaven knows

She must be there, somewhere in the dough
Where's the girl I know
Why has she been hiding?
And she looks a bit like me
But there's an ingredient still missing within me

I know I can't just run away from fear
Because I cannot lose another year
I should be strong
I should be brave, and bold
All these other people going for gold
I can't continue living on hold

'Cause there, somewhere in the dough
That's the girl I know
Show me how to find her
And she is telling me I'll see
That everything I need is there inside of me
What's that ingredient I wish I could set free
In the recipe of me!

The Bake Off Tent
The Arrival of the Judges
Obviously
Somewhere In The Dough
Slap It Like That
Bring on the Scone

My Dad
All the Way
