[Verse 1]
In a rented room above a Hollywood bar
With my money gone
The ragged curtains blowing in the window
Lying hungry and alone
With no one to call, not even my folks
For the means to go on
Wondering if I lose my nerve
Or answer the phone
[Verse 2]
When the desk clerk calls to say
A stranger's on his way
Up the stairs to share my bed
Will I stay or slip away?
I know an actress has to make sacrifices
But what a price to pay
And when I called my agent today
The conversation went this way
[Chorus]
Send in anyone from Metro or Warners
Leave a call from me
Well then what about Paramount or NBC
You say there's nothing today
Just an interesting gentleman caller
With a burning request
I said send the man over, I guess
With a script and the cash
In a rented room above a Hollywood bar
With my money gone
The ragged curtains blowing in the window
Lying hungry and alone
With no one to call, not even my folks
For the means to go on
Wondering if I lose my nerve
Or answer the phone
[Verse 2]
When the desk clerk calls to say
A stranger's on his way
Up the stairs to share my bed
Will I stay or slip away?
I know an actress has to make sacrifices
But what a price to pay
And when I called my agent today
The conversation went this way
[Chorus]
Send in anyone from Metro or Warners
Leave a call from me
Well then what about Paramount or NBC
You say there's nothing today
Just an interesting gentleman caller
With a burning request
I said send the man over, I guess
With a script and the cash
