Lyrics:

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
Well, that's wonderful, Norma
But it was some fool assistant
Not acceptable at all
It he wants me, then Cecil B
Himself must call
I don't know if this is the time to stand on ceremony
I've been waiting twenty years now
What's a few more days, my dear
It's happened, Joe
I told you so
The perfect year
Now, let's go upstairs
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 make-up
And set forth in her chariot
Poor Norma
So happy
Re-entering her kingdom

If you will pardon me, Madame, the shadow over the left eye is not quite balanced
Thank you, Max
Hey, that's enough of that
To see Mr. DeMille. Open the gate
Mr. DeMille is shooting. You need an appointment
This is Norma Desmond. No appointment is necessary
Norma who
Jonesy
Why, if it isn't Miss Desmond. How have you been, Miss Desmond
Fine, Jonesy. Open the gate
You heard Miss Desmond
They don't have a pass
Stage 18, Miss Desmond
Thank you, Jonesy
And teach your friend some manners
Tell him without me, there wouldn't be any Paramount Studio
Get me Stage 18. I have a message for Mr. DeMille
Mr. DeMille
What is it
Norma Desmond is here to see you, Mr. DeMille
Norma Desmond
She's here at the studio
It must be about that appalling script of hers. What shall I say
Maybe I could give her the brush
Thirty million fans have given her the brush. Isn't that enough
Give me a minute
Won't you come along, darling
It's your script. It's your show
Good luck
Thank you, darling
Miss Desmond
Well, well, well
Hello, Mr. DeMille
The last time I saw you, we were someplace terribly gay
I was dancing on the table
A lot of people were
Lindbergh had just landed
You read the script, of course
Well, yes
Now, I know how busy you are during shooting
But I really think you could have picked up the phone yourself
Instead of leaving it so some assistant
I don't know what you mean, Norma
Yes, you do
Come on in
