THE 20TH CENTURY FOX MAMBO! lyrics
At Paramount it's "Oh la la"
The Warner Bros. "Cha cha cha"
And L.B. Mayer loves his schmaltz
So M.G.M. made the great waltz
But the 20th Century Foxtrot
It's precious - but precious, it's not hot
To make the big boys hire me
Please make that rhythm fiery
Come on boys and girls - make me over
In this factory where dreams can true
Are you ready to make someone new
You're the team that must teach me to do
The 20th Century Fox Mambo
Done the homework and I'll pass the test
I'll do whatever my teachers suggest
I can do it clothed or undressed
The 20th Century Fox Mambo
Make it up, shake it up
Let the fantasies begin
Here's the dope
To get cast, change the past
Make the light just right for Cin-emascope
Take a gamble cuz it's safe to bet
Mr. Zanick ain't seen nothin' yet
When we're finished he'll never forget
This 20th Century Fox
(For fame - play the game - change your name -to the 20th Century Fox)
Make it up - shake it up
Make me feel like the main attraction
Change the clothes, fix the nose
And then 5,6,7,8
Action! (Action!)
Now I'm blonde but I ain't so dumb (No)
Hollywood will be under my thumb (Yes)
I'll change partners until I become
The 20th Century Fox
Mambo!
LET ME BE YOUR STAR lyrics
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame,
And a face and a name to remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day,
Norma Jean's gone.
She's moving on...
Her smile and your fantasies play a duet
That will make you forget where you are.
The music starts playing,
It's the beat of her heart saying:
Let me be your star.
Flashback to a girl
With a song in her heart,
As she's waiting to start the adventure.
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive:
They fill her soul.
She's in control...
The drama, the laughter, the tears just like pearls--
Well, they're all in this girl's repertoire.
It's all for the taking,
And it's magic we'll be making;
Let me be your star.
I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before,
Forget what used to be.
The past is on the cutting room floor,
The future is here with me.
Choose me!
Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights:
All the love and the lights
That surround her.
Someday she'll think twice
Of the dues and the price
She'll have to pay
She'll have to pay
But not today...
But not today...
Then she'll do all she can
For the love of one man,
And for millions who look from afar.
And what you've been needing
Is all here in my heart, pleading:
Let me be your star!
MR AND MRS SMITH lyrics
Call the Justice of the Peace,
But don't tell him our names,
Don't put out a press release,
Or mention baseball games.
Book the nearest Bridal suite,
One room will suit us fine,
For the desk clerk that we meet,
The only autograph we'll sign is,
Mr and Mrs smith,
Simply the folks next door,
People without a single clue what
an Agent or Grip is for
Yes,
Nothing can beat the view,
When as far as the eye can see, there's
No one but Mrs,
No one but Mr,
Smith and Me.
For a home the man provides,
A cottage built for two,
We'll check the small town classifieds,
Variety won't do.
Then we'll move to mainstream USA,
And sign the deed of trust,
The mailbox at our hideaway,
Will tell the whole wide world that we're just,
Mr and Mrs smith,
Merely the folks next door,
People who use their kitchen each night,
And never been into chores,
Yeah,
Nothing can beat the view,
For as far as the eye can see, there's
No one but Mrs,
No one but Mr,
Smith and Me. No early calls,
No big premieres,
No less romantic theme,
We'll spend the nights,
Making our own,
Little league baseball team,
We're no one you've ever seen,
Movie stars don't live anywhere here,
Except on the local drive-in screen,
Yes,
I'd gladly disappear,
If it might guarantee a view of,
No one but Mr,
No one but Mrs,
Smith and You
