About History is Made At Night

"History Is Made at Night" is an original song introduced in the fourth episode of the first season of the musical TV series "Smash", entitled "The Cost of Art". It was written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, but within the show's universe, it was written by the songwriting team of Tom Levitt (Christian Borle) and Julia Houston (Debra Messing) for their Marilyn Monroe musical Bombshell. The song is a duet sung by Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio. Besides "The Cost of Art", the song is performed various times throughout Season 1, most notably between Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty) and Michael Swift (Will Chase) in the sixth episode of the season, entitled Chemistry. The song is also performed as part of a medley in the seventh episode of the season "The Workshop" and Ivy and Dennis begin to sing it in the thirteenth episode "Tech" before they get cut off by a lighting issue. The song is featured as a track on the cast albums The Music of Smash and Bombshell. The version on the released track is by Megan Hilty and Will Chase, as seen in episode 6. more »

(Doo-doo-n-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and woh-woh-oh

Put down the playbook
'Cause the things I wanna show you
Can't be written down
Let my lips do the teaching

Turn off the camera
Kick your shoes off for the scene
You should be sitting down
Yes, sitting close enough for reaching

Turn down the lamp
For the last page has been turned
When the dawns breaking through
We can stop and review
All the lessons you have learned

'Cause history is made at night
So close the books, turn off the light
And listen
Let my heart be the teacher

No-one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you've been
Missing
Let the moon be our only light

'Cause history is made at night

(Wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and woh-woh-oh

I see the questions
Burning in your eyes
Or is it just reflections
Of the stars high above you?

Oh, I'm just your student
And I hope you won't be shy
Please make corrections
Yeah on the sweetest way to love you

Come whisper close
Tell me just when to say when
(Just when to say when)
Then we'll sleep through the day
Then whenever you say
That's when school begins again

'Cause history is made at night
So close the books, turn off the light
And listen
Let my heart be the teacher

No-one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you've been
Missing
Let the moon be our only light

'Cause history is made at night

Shut up, show me, oh
Woh-woh-woh

(Oh-oh, yes)
Woh-woh-woh-woh

Someday they'll write lots of books
About out fame and glory
But if all their reports
Are just movies and sports
They'll be missing the whole story
(Missing the whole story)

History is made at night
So close the books, turn off the light
And listen
Let my heart be the teacher

No-one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you've been
Missing
Let the moon be our only light

'Cause history is made at night

Yes, our history was made at night

(Doo-doo-n-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Wa-wa-wa)
Shut up and show me, oh
(Doo-doo-wa)
Shut up and woh-woh-oh
