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

[NORMA]
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

[JOE, spoken]
That's wonderful, Norma

[NORMA]
But it was some fool assistant
Not acceptable at all
If he wants me, then Cecil B
Himself must call

[JOE, spoken]
I don't know if now is the time to stand on ceremony

[NORMA]
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?

[NORMA, spoken]
No, they can wait until I'm good and ready

[JOE]
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
