Public Relations (SMASH Cast Version)

Reporters:
Here she is, Miss Marilyn Monroe!
Will she have the answers that our readers want to know?

Indian Reporter:
From India!

Parisian Reporter:
And Paris!

British Reporter:
And from just across the pond!

Reporters:
We have so many questions for America's smart dumb blonde!

Marilyn:
Here I am!
I dropped in from the sky
For Look and Life and all the boys from Peek and U.P.I.

Reporters:
Please let us peek behind closed doors...

German Reporter:
Where no one is allowed!

Marilyn:
Well, I'm pretty good in private
But the truth is I'm better in a crowd!

I relate to men of so many nations
But public relations are my favorite kind

Reporters:
You're the story that we're glad we're assigned!

Marilyn:
Dealing with one man can lead to frustrations
But public relations I have never declined

Reporters:
'Cause we're the guys who'll never leave ya behind!

Marilyn:
A bunch of men with pad and pen is a way to have some fun
But, ladies, listen to me, confidentially
Nothing ever beats a one-on-one!

Still, you have come to me for sex in quotations
So I'll use public relations to give you a peace of my mind

Reporters:
Gimme, gimme, a piece of your mind!
'Cause the answer to a question is the way you're defined, like:

Reporter #1:
What do you sleep in?

Marilyn:
Well, I adore Chanel No. 5, and not much more

Reporter #1:
Any advice for a girl in the city?

Marilyn:
If you're two-faced at least make one of them pretty

Reporter #1:
The studio says "lateness is your favorite crime"

Marilyn:
True, I've been on a calendar, but never on time

Reporter #1:
When you posed nude, your inhibitions were gone?

Marilyn:
Well, that's not quite true, I kept the radio on!

Reporters
Yes, to chase the blues
Boys, I chase the newsboys!
Fame has plenty of perks!

Marilyn:
When your life's a mess, call the foreign press!

Reporter #1:
Be they:

Indian Reporter:
Indian!

Parisian Reporter:
Parisian!

British Reporter:
British!

German Reporter:
German!

Turk Reporter:
Or Turks!

Reporters:
Yeah!

Marilyn:
I am glad you crave my best conjugations
Yes, public relations is my favorite sound

'Cause when I'm alone I can pick up the phone
'Cause the fourth estate is always around!

Reporters:
Yes, it's just good public relations!
