Don't Say Yes Until I Finish Talking

In the style of

Smash

Lyrics

a studio executive
has no beliefs

that's the way of
a studio system

we bow to every rear
of all the studio chiefs

and you can bet your a##
we've kissed 'em

even the birds
in the hollywood hills

know the secret to our success

it's those magical words
that pay the bills

yes yes yes and yes

today the trades are all aglow
with grosses

for our miss monroe

the things those
vermin mustn't know

is what she puts us through

she makes directors
wait all day

one line per hour
is all she'll say

and still she thinks
we're gonna pay

she needs a talking to

tomatoes like her must be
put in their place

if she don't shape up soon
she'll soon be walking

'cos the buck stops with me
yes you're right we agree

uh don't say yes
until i finish talking

she's got them all
tied up in knots

makes each producer
faint in plots

she thinks she's queen
and calls the shots

as she sits on a throne

she needs to learn
she's only skin

the next girl's
waiting for a spin

i made a star of rintintin

and paid him with a bone

tomatoes like her well
they're easy to find

we throw them out as soon
as they start squawking

so get me some younger dish
we concur as you wish

hey don't say yes
until i finish talking

and while you got me on a roll
let's find a role

for nat king cole

tell lankowitz
his script is trite

a little lower to the right

i think that brando is miscast

that television just won't last

that i'm the king of hollywood
all hail the king

oh that feels good

which brings me back
to that dumb blonde

to her demands i now respond

some buy her act
but i'm not conned

you better fall in line

you're too bazooms
and nuts to boot

i'll keep you in a bathing suit

when you stop
bringing in the loot

well go back to the vine

tomatoes like you
they all whither and die

my powers though
will never be diminished

so don't bring me
to my boiling point

you're just a broad
i own the joint

i'm in control you're just a face
so allow me

to cut to the chase

i'll make another movie star
can someone light

my damn cigar

and then say yes 'cos yes men

i'm finished
yes
