Let Me Be Your Star (Bombshell Opening)

Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE] Here she is, Miss Marilyn Monroe! Yes, she's the new sensation that our readers want to know! [FEMALE ENSEMBLE] We've waited for a goddess [MALE ENSEMBLE] A star to fill our nights [ENSEMBLE] But waiting time is over 'Cause now Marilyn is there in lights! [IVY, spoken] Sorry I'm late, boys. I've been on calendars, but I've never been on time [REPORTER #1] Miss Monroe! How does it feel to be called the sexiest woman in the world? [IVY, spoken] Well, I'd rather be looked over than overlooked [REPORTER #2] Marilyn, is it true you wear nothing in bed? [IVY] Of course not - I wear Chanel No. 5 [sung] Fade in on a girl with a hunger for fame And a face and a name to remember Her past fades away because as of this day Well, that girl is dead, I'm looking ahead Her smile and your fantasies play a duet That will make you forget where you are The music starts playing, her heart's saying "Let me be your star" [IVY, ENSEMBLE] Fade in on a man all alone in the dark 'Til her gaze turns a spark into fire (Ooh...) It takes just one glance of her style and romance To fill up his soul, this (Ah...) [IVY, ENSEMBLE] Girl's in control! [IVY] Some gentlemen say [IVY, ENSEMBLE] A brunette is a must [IVY] Or that redheads are just [IVY, ENSEMBLE] Wunderbar [IVY] But if blonde's your preferring, my heart's purring "Let me be your star" I'll just have to forget the girl I used to love [IVY, ENSEMBLE] Forget poor Norma Jean [IVY] The past is what I'm rising above [IVY, ENSEMBLE] The future is there Onscreen! [ENSEMBLE] Ah... [IVY] That's me onscreen! [ENSEMBLE] That's her onscreen! [IVY] Happy birthday, Mr. President... [ENSEMBLE] Dissolve to her face on a Hollywood night As she stands in the light that surrounds her [IVY] In a crowd full of men, and the ones she knew when They ask [ENSEMBLE] "Could it be?" [IVY] Yeah, suckers, it's me! [ENSEMBLE] She turns on the glow as the fans start to cheer It's her name that you hear near and far [IVY, ENSEMBLE] I'm what you've been needing (You're all that we need) That's the sound of my heart pleading: "Let me be your star" (Our star) Your star! (Won't you be our star?)
