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

[KAREN ("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!

[KAREN ("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!

[KAREN ("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!

[KAREN ("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 piece of my mind

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

[AMERICAN REPORTER]
What do you sleep in?

[KAREN ("MARILYN")]
Well, I adore Chanel No. 5, and not much more

[AMERICAN REPORTER]
Any advice for a girl in the city?

[KAREN ("MARILYN")]
If you're two-faced at least make one of them pretty

[TOM]
The studio says "lateness is your favorite crime"

[KAREN ("MARILYN")]
True, I've been on a calendar, but never on time

[AMERICAN REPORTER]
When you posed nude, your inhibitions were gone?

[KAREN ("MARILYN")]
Well, that's not quite true, I kept the radio on!

[REPORTERS]
Ahh, yes, to chase the blues boys
I chase the newsboys!
Fame has plenty of perks!

[KAREN ("MARILYN")]
When your life's a mess, call the foreign press!

[AMERICAN REPORTER]
Be they:

[INDIAN REPORTER]
Indian!

[PARISIAN REPORTER]
Parisian!

[BRITISH REPORTER]
British!

[GERMAN REPORTER]
German!

[TURK REPORTER]
Or Turks!

[REPORTERS]
Yeah!

[KAREN ("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!
