Let Me Be Your Star/The 20th Century Fox Mambo/History Is Made At Night/The National Pastime
Let Me Be Your Star
Marilyn: 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".
The 20th Century Fox Mambo
Marilyn: 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 sin. Let's go!
History Is Made At Night
Marilyn: Someday they’ll write lots of books About our fame and glory.
Joe: But if all their reports are just movies and sports,
Both: They’ll be missing the whole story!
Ensemble: …missing the whole story!
Both: 'Cause history is made at night, So close the books turn off the light and listen... Let my heart be the teacher. No one here to disapprove, As we review the lessons you’ve been missing. Let the moon be our only light, 'Cause history is made at night.
The National Pastime
Yankees: When the season's over, the play won't end.
Marilyn: 'Cause a baseball diamond Is a girl's best friend.
All: Yes, the style, and the fashion Will elevate the national Pastime!
Let Me Be Your Star
All: Then she'll do all she can For the love of one man, And for millions Who look from afar.
I'm what you've been needing, It's all here, And my heart's pleading, Let me be your star!
