"Specialization" lyrics - MARILYN MONROE

[Frankie Vaughn:]
If you peruse the people in the news,
The people that the magazines refer to.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
You'll find that they are naturally soigne,
The special ones that all of us refer to.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
They've each a trait that seems to state first raters.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
That separates them from the small potaters.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
Maria Callas
Is booked in Dallas.
The carpet's rolled out and they're sold out clear to the skies.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
Specialization, specialization.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
They'll love your high notes if

[Marilyn Monroe:]
If you specialize.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
When Elvis rotates,
Each creep notates.
It may look funny,
But the money's what it supplies.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
Specialization, specialization.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
You'll meet the colonel if

[Marilyn Monroe:]
If you specialize.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
Salome did it with veils.
Abe Lincoln did it with rails.
Toledo did it with scales
The Chinese built that Wall.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
Specialized star.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
Marc Clement gives gals the tremors.
This Casanova sure has the roverest eyes.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
Specialization, specialization.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
You'll rule the barnyard if

[Marilyn Monroe:]
If you specialize.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
The Farrows did it with springs.
And Darwin did it with links.
Some robbers did it with Brinks.
Carnegie used a Hall.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
Specialized star.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
Van Cliberen caused us a high burn.
While we were blushin'
Some Russian gave him the prize.

[Marilyn Monroe:]
Specialization, specialization.

[Frankie Vaughn:]
They'll give you medals if,
They'll love your high notes if,
You'll meet the Colonel if,
You'll rule the barnyard if,

[Marilyn Monroe:]
If you specialize!
I specialize.
