Sc. 3 Miramar Film Studios

Technicians
The Lion of Metro, the searchlights of Fox,
The studios who cut their overdrafts,
The Chaplins, the Crosbys, Keystone the Cops
The Skeltons who exhort us all to laugh.
The Heavies that enthrall us when they thump.
The Weepies that render our throats a lump.
There's no business like film business
Like no business we know
Everything about it is so coarso.
Everything the censors will allow
Nowhere can you get that naked torso,
It's Marlon Brando's—sweat on his brow.
There's no people like film people,
They wed when they are low.
Always with a shocker they can earn their crust,
Fill it with lust, Marilyn's bust
Or handle out that stuff they call blood and guts
Lets go on with the show,
Lets go on with the show.
