Marc Shaiman
Smash! (SMASH Cast Version)
[IVY]
You ask me how far will I go
You ask me what I wouldn't do
For the side of my name, as it fills every frame
Yes, I wanna be more than a flash
[KAREN]
I ask you what lie should I tell
I tell you I am willing to learn
So enroll me in school
In your kidney-shaped pool
In a two-piece
And make quite a splash
Cause I wanna be a smash
[IVY & KAREN]
Yes, I wanna be a hit
And until I have won every heart
[KAREN]
Be a queen to each king or mechanic
[IVY & KAREN]
Cause you, Mr. Zanuck
But first Mister, you have to give me the part!
[Musical Interlude]
[IVY & KAREN]
I know all the tricks of the trade
I've even invented a few
[IVY]
Now your interest is mounting
[KAREN]
And soon we'll be counting the lights
[IVY]
And the nights
[IVY & KAREN]
And the cash
'Cause I'm gonna be a smash
Yes, I'm gonna be a smash
Won't you help me be a
Smash
