Bombshell: The New Marilyn Musical from Smash
SMASH - Dig Deep Lyrics
The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
Lee: (spoken)
The challenge for the actor is
to use sense memory of childhood trauma.
The actor must deploy the conscious
and dig into the unconscious.
The challenge for the actor-
Students:
Ah!
Use your past
Use your pain
Never ever try to entertain
Let Stanislavski be your umbrella
Lee:
Mumble your words!
Unless they're...
Male Student:
"Stella!"
Students:
Use justification, improvisation
Plus some emotional masturbation
Lee:
Visitor from the Western coast!
Lee with Students:
Can you dig it?
'Marilyn:
I dig it the most!
Marilyn: (spoken)
I'm through with Hollywood.
It's New York and the Actors Studio for me.
And if any of those boys from Hollywood come a’ callin,
You can tell them I said this!
Marilyn:
In history, there's this doctrine called Monroe
Which basically told the enemy where to go
It was created to nurture and protect
But now, a new Monroe doctrine is in effect
So go tell Mr. Zanuck to read it and weep
'Cause I'm not just here to dig
I'm here to dig deep
From the 20th Century Foxholes, I'm released
Students:
(scatting)
Marilyn:
And just like the sun, I'm rising in the east
Students:
(scatting)
Marilyn:
I made a move from that permanent state of sadness
To prove there's a method to my madness
I'm waking up from that 20th Century sleep
Yeah, I'm not just here to dig
Students:
Woo!
Marilyn:
I'm here to dig deep
Marilyn with Students:
Well, there ain't no sin to remove your skin
Marilyn:
And take a look under the hood
Students:
Mm-hmm!
Marilyn:
Well, you must dispel the outer shell
Though, you have to admit, my shell looks good
Male Student:
You're tearing me apart!
Marilyn:
I'll finally get to use my mind's interior (Students: Interior)
And not only just my bust,
And my posterior (Students: Posterior)
'Cause the true inner self, you can't avoid
Students:
And we're just nuts about Sigmund Freud!
Marilyn with Students:
So open up my id
Marilyn:
For a good clean sweep (Students: Sweep)
'Cause I'm not just here to dig
Marilyn with Students:
No, I'm not just here to dig
Oh, I'm not just here to dig
Marilyn:
I'm here to dig deep
Students:
Motivation, concentration, exploration,
Simulation, perspiration, inspiration!
Marilyn:
So deep!
Students:
Yeah!
