Iterate over `dirs` in a bash script

I would like to iterate over `dirs`in a script, but the script will never show more than one (current) folder


Code:
#! /bin/bash

for i in `dirs` 
do
    echo ${i}
done
echo ++++++++++++++++++
for i in $( dirs -p )
do
    echo ${i}
done
echo ------------------
dirscontent=`dirs`
echo "dirs : $dirscontent"
echo ++++++++++++++++++

Prior to running the code I have cd/pushd a few folders. Running dirs in the terminal window will list more than one folder. If I type the code in the terminal window I will get the whole list of folders. How can I make it work in the script?
