marc shaiman & scott wittman - the 20th century fox mambo lyrics

Loading...

[ivy, spoken]
come on, boys and girls
make me over

(sung)
in this factory where dreams can come 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 (ah)
i’ll do whatever my teacher suggests (ah)
i can do it clothed or undressed
the 20th century fox mambo (mambo)

[assistant, spoken]
i just got off the phone with susan
she doesn’t think ivy is up to the task of rehearsing today

[nigel, spoken]
shoot me, fire me, put me out of my misery

[ivy, spoken]
here i am

[nigel, spoken]
you’re late
[susan, spoken]
stage fright, it was brutal

[nigel, spoken]
there’s no such thing as stage fright in rehearsal
you see a stage?
no stage, no fright
you got that?
hit it

[ivy]
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+ema+scope

[ivy, spoken]
ow, you’re hurting me

[charlie, spoken]
i’m sorry, you were facing the wrong way

[ivy, spoken]
i was turning
if you paid half as much attention to me as you do the director, maybe you would’ve noticed
i’m done for today
[nigel, spoken]
where’s karen?

[karen, spoken]
i’m here

[nigel, spoken]
five, six
five, six, seven, eight

[karen]
take a gamble ’cause it’s safe to bet (ah)
mr. zanuck ain’t seen nothing yet (ah)
when we’re finished he’ll never forget
this 20th century fox

make it up, shake it up (woo)
make me feel like the main attraction (ooh+ooh+ooh)
change the clothes, fix the nose
and then five, six, seven, eight, action (action)

[ivy, spoken]
the answer is no

[nigel, spoken]
and what was the question?
[ivy, spoken]
do i like the new pages?

[susan, spoken]
we think marilyn’s coming across as difficult

[nigel, spoken]
but she was famously difficult
i’m sure you’re aware of that

[ivy, spoken]
i am strong, that’s often interpreted as difficult
i’m sure you’re aware of that

[nigel, spoken]
the thing is we’ve spent two weeks rewriting the show
marilyn, warts and all
and now you’re trying to tie a keeper on those warts and call ’em superpowers

[ivy, spoken]
thank you, nigel
i appreciate you explaining it to me like i’m a child, i really do

[karen, spoken]
can i just say one little thing?

[ivy, spoken]
apparently not
you’ve taken six pages to say what could be said in three lines

[susan, spoken]
less is more

[karen, spoken]
wow, wow

[nigel, spoken]
let’s at least read it through

[ivy, spoken]
i’m done for today

[charlie, spoken]
i’m confused
is that ivy being a monster
or is that ivy playing marilyn being a monster?

[nigel, spoken]
there are many layers to this particular sh+t show
karen, you’re on

[karen, spoken]
i’m on

(sung)
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 (20th century)
20th century fox mambo
