Lyrics
Norma Jeane: 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, boys 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 teachers suggest I can do it clothed or undressed The 20th Century Fox Mambo!

Make it up, shake it up

Norma Jeane with 20th Century Fox Staff: Let the fantasies begin

Norma Jeane: Here's the dope To get cast, change the past

Norma Jeane with 20th Century Fox Staff: Make the light just right for Cin -

Norma Jeane: - emaScope!

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

Norma Jeane with 20th Century Fox Staff: This 20th Century Fox

20th Century Fox Staff: For fame Play the game Change your name To the 20th Century Fox!

Norma Jeane with 20th Century Fox Staff: Make it up! Shake it up!

Marilyn: Make me feel like the main attraction Change the clothes, fix the nose And then five, six, seven, eight, action!

Now I'm blonde, but I ain't so dumb Hollywood will be under my thumb I'll change partners until I become

Marilyn with 20th Century Fox Staff: The 20th Century Fox

Marilyn: Mambo!
