Alle Filmlieder von Marilyn Monroe haben das gewisse etwas, so auch dieser Song aus o.g. Film:

 

If you peruse the people in the news

The people that the magazines refer to

 

You'll find that they are naturally soigné

The special ones that all of us defer to

 

They've each a trait

That seems to state first raters

 

Which separates them

from the small pertaters

 

Maria Callas is booked in Dallas

But it's not certain the curtain ever will rise

 

Specialization

Specialization

 

They'll love your high notes if

If you specialize

 

When Elvis rotates

each critic notates

It may look funny

But money's what it supplies

 

Specialization

Specialization

 

You'll meet the colonel if

If you specialize

 

Salome did it with veils

Abe Lincoln did it with rails

Toledo did it with scales

The Chinese built that wall

 

Specialists all

The gasser is still the massah

When Frankie bends 'em

he sends 'em he takes the prize

 

Specialization

Specialization

 

They'll buy your album if

If you specialize

 

We brushed Van Cliburn

And did a slyburn

While we were blushin'

Some Russian gave him a prize

 

Specialization

Specialization

 

They'll give you medals if

If you specialize

 

When Brando mumbles

The fair sex crumbles

And that's a factor each actor must realize

 

Specialization

Specialization

 

Kazan will love you if

If you specialize

 

The Phaarohs did it with sphinx

And Darwin did it with links

Some robbers did it with Brinks

Carnegie used a hall

Specialists all

 

If ZsaZsa should meet a rahjah

Tho' she'd alarm him

She'd charm him up to the skies

 

Specialization

Specialization

 

They'll buy you diamonds if

If you specialize

 

They'll love your high notes if

You'll meet the colonel if

They'll buy your albums if

They'll give you medals if

Kazan will love you if

The world will love you if

If you specialize

I specialize
