Schwab’s Drugstore Lyrics by Tom Francis, Grace Hodgett Young, Sunset Boulevard

SUNSET BLVD: The Album

2024

[ENSEMBLE]
Every movie's a circus
On the wire without a net

[JOANNA]
Coffee?

[MYRON]
Need something stronger
Do me a favor: find me some blow

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies

[WOMAN 1]
What's wrong?

[MARY]
Can't get a screen test
'Less you say yes when you wanna say no

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies!

[WOMAN 2]
Good part?

[MAN 1]
I'm a policeman
'Hands up, punk!'
That's all I say

[MAN 2]
I hear it's quite a good picture

[WOMAN 3]
The better the movie, the lower the pay

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies

[WOMAN 4]
Then what?

[WOMAN 5]
He pressed a button
Out of the wall
Fell a four-poster bed

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies

[MYRON]
Busy?

[JOANNA]
They shot my screenplay

[MYRON]
How did it go?

[JOANNA]
Well, I wish I was dead

[ENSEMBLE]
Evеry movie's a circus
On the wire without a nеt

[MAN 3]
Lonely?

[WOMAN 6]
That's how I like it

[MAN 3]
Can't you be nice?

[WOMAN 6]
Why? We're not on the set

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies

[ARTIE]
Hey, Joe
What are you, slumming?

[JOE]
Here for a meeting

[ARTIE]
This time of night?

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies

[JOE]
It's some studio smartass
You know I'm famous for being polite

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies!

[ARTIE]
Guess what?
I'm getting married

[JOE]
Congratulations!

[ARTIE]
She'll be right back

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies!

[ARTIE]
Fact is, we were just leavin'
She's been stood up by some uppity hack

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies

[JOE]
Married? Who would've thought it?
Why don't you look happy?
Come on, be brave

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies

[ARTIE]
It's this movie I'm shooting

[JOE]
What? Aren't you first assistant?

[ARTIE]
If I behave

[ENSEMBLE]
Every movie's a circus
On the wire without a net

[ARTIE]
But this is a circus movie as well!

[ENSEMBLE]
Movies!

[ARTIE]
Problems—nothing but problems
Actors—animals—all kinds of hell

[ENSEMBLE]
Every movie's a circus
On the wire without a net

[BETTY]
Well
Hello, Mr. Gillis

[ARTIE]
You two have met?

[JOE]
I'm the uppity hack

[ARTIE]
And she's the studio smartass

[BETTY]
What's going on here?

[BARMAN]
Artie!
They're calling you back

[BETTY]
I just reread "Dark Windows"
It needs some real re-working, of course
If we fixed up the opening—

[ARTIE]
Call up the wrangler
Pay off the horse
