Song of the day: "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman

A charming, old-fashioned song performed by Will Chase and Megan Hilty in the TV series Smash.

MARILYN:
Call the justice of the peace,
But don't tell him our names.
Don't put out a press release,
Or mention baseball games.

DIMAGGIO:
Book the nearest bridal suite,
One room will suit us fine.
For the desk clerk that we meet,
The only autograph we'll sign is...

BOTH:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
Simply the folks next door.

DIMAGGIO:
People without a single clue what
An agent or grip is for.

MARILYN:
Yes

BOTH:
Nothing can beat the view,
When as far as the eye can see,
There's...

DIMAGGIO:
No one but Mrs. ...

MARILYN:
No one but Mr. ...

BOTH:
Smith and me.

DIMAGGIO:
For a home the man provides,
That cottage built for two.
We'll check the small town classifieds,
Variety won't do.

MARILYN:
Then we'll move to Main Street, U.S.A.,
And sign the deed of trust.
The mailbox at our hideaway,
Will tell the whole wide world that we're just

BOTH:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
Merely the folks next door.

DIMAGGIO:
People who use their kitchen each night

MARILYN:
Who've never been in Toots Shor

BOTH:
Nothing can beat the view,
For as far as the eye can see,
There's ....

DIMAGGIO:
No one but Mrs. ...

MARILYN:
No one but Mr. ...

BOTH:
Smith and me

BOTH:
No early calls,
No big premieres,
No lush romantic theme.
We'll spend the nights,
Making our own
Little League baseball team.

(brief interlude)

BOTH:
We're no one you've ever seen

MARILYN:
Movie stars don't live anywhere here,
Except on the local drive-in screen.

BOTH:
Yes, I'd gladly disappear,
If it might guarantee a view of

DIMAGGIO:
No one but Mr. ...

MARILYN:
No one but Mrs. ...

BOTH:
Smith and you.
