The 20th Century Fox Mambo (SMASH Cast Version)

[KAREN]
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 dope:

To get cast, change the past
Make the light just right for Cin-ema-scope

Take a gamble 'cause it's safe to bet
Mr. Zanuck ain't seen nothing yet
When we're finished he'll never forget
This 20th Century Fox

For fame, play her 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 five, six, seven, eight, 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!
