There's Been A Call / It Took Her Three Days

There's been a call, what did I say? They want to see me right away Joe, Paramount, they love our child Mr. DeMille is going wild That's wonderful, Norma But it was some fool assistant Not acceptable at all If he wants me, then Cecil B Himself must call I don't know if now is the time to stand on ceremony I've been waiting many years now What's a few more days, my dear? It's happened, Joe I told you so The perfect year (spoken) Now, let's go upstairs[JOE, sung] Shouldn't you at least call back? No, they can wait until I'm good and ready It took her three days and she was ready She checked with her astrologer Who sacrificed a chicken She dressed up like a pharaoh Slapped on a pound of makeup And set forth in her chariot Poor Norma, so happy Re-entering her kingdom
