marc shaiman & scott wittman - don't say yes until i finish talking lyrics

Loading...

[jerry, spoken]
gentlemen
take a memo

(sung)
today the trades are all aglow
with grosses for our miss monroe
the things those vermin mustn’t know
is what she puts us through

she makes directors wait all day
one line per hour’s all she’ll say
and still, she thinks we’re gonna pay
she needs a talking to

tomatoes like her must be put in their place
if she don’t shape up soon, she’ll soon be walking
’cause the buck stops with me

[studio executives]
yes, you’re right, we agree

[jerry]
uh, don’t say “yes” until i finish talking

she’s got them all tied up in knots
makes each producer faint and plotz
she thinks she’s queen and calls the shots
as she sits on her throne
she needs to learn she’s only skin
the next girl’s waiting for a spin
i made a star of rin tin tin
and paid him with a bone

tomatoes like her, well, they’re easy to find
we throw them out as soon as they start squawking
so, get me some younger dish

[studio executives]
we concur, as you wish

[jerry]
hey, don’t say “yes” until i finish talking

and while you’ve got me on a roll
let’s find a role for nat king cole
tell mankiewicz his script is trite
a little lower, to the right

i think that brando is miscast
that television just won’t last
that i’m the king of hollywood

[studio executives]
all hail the king
[jerry]
oh, that feels good

which brings me back to that dumb blonde
to her demands, i now respond
some buy your act, but i’m not conned
you better fall in line

you’re two bazooms and nuts to boot
i’ll keep you in a bathing suit
when you stop bringing in the loot
we’ll go back to the vine

tomatoes like you, they all whither and die
my powers, though, will never be diminished
so don’t bring me to my boiling point
you’re just a broad, i own the joint
i’m in control, you’re just a face
allow me to cut to the chase
i’ll make another movie star
can someone light my d+mn cigar?
and then say “yes”
’cause yes, men
i’m finished

[studio executives]
yes
