The 20th Century Fox Mambo

[Marilyn:]

At Paramount it's "Ooh la la."

The Warner Brothers' Cha cha cha.

And L.B. Mayer loves his schmaltz,

So MGM 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, boy and girls,

Make me over!

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.

I'll do whatever

My teacher suggests—

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 ****:

To get cast,

Change the past—

Make the light

Just right for sin.

Let's go!

Take a gamble

'Cause it's safe to bet.

Mr. Zanick ain't seen nothing yet.

When we're finished

He'll never forget

This 20th Century Fox.

[Ensemble:]

For fame play her game,

Change your name

To the 20th Century Fox

Make it up,

Shake it up.

[Marilyn:]

Make me feel

Like the main attraction.

Change the clothes,

Fix the nose,

And then 5, 6, 7, 8,

Action!

[Ensemble:]

Action!

[Marilyn:]

Now I'm blonde,

But I ain't so dumb.

[Ensemble:]

No!

[Marilyn:]

Hollywood will be

Under my thumb.

[Ensemble:]

Yes!

[Marilyn:]

I'll change partners

Until I become

Your 20th Centurty Fox

Mambo!
