Public Relations Lyrics


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!
