Small Talk
[SID]
I don't wanna talk small talk
Now that I'm alone with you
I don't wanna talk small talk
We've got bigger things to do
Let's not talk of the weather
Or the fashions for the fall
Why don't you stop all this small talk?
I've got somethin' better for your lips to do
And that takes no talk at all
[BABE]
I gotta buy me a dressy dress
The one that I have is such a mess
[SID]
Small talk
[BABE]
Who will you vote for next election?
How do you like the stamp collection?
[SID]
Small talk
Read in a book the other day
That halibut spawn in early May
And horses whinny and donkeys bray
And furthermore
The pigmy tribes in Africa may have a war
[BABE, spoken]
No?
[SID, spoken]
Yes.
(sung)
I don't wanna talk small talk
[BABE]
What do you think they charge for ham now?
[SID]
Now that I'm alone with you
[BABE]
Got so a buck ain't worth a damn now
[SID]
I don't wanna talk small talk
[BABE]
Read where the winters are getting milder
[SID]
We've got bigger things to do
[BABE]
And that the teenage kids are wilder
[SID]
Let's not talk of the weather
[BABE]
One of these days I'm gonna paint the kitchen
[SID]
Or the fashions for the fall
[BABE]
Get Pop to put a new light switch in
[SID]
Why don't you stop all this small talk?
[BABE]
Like I was sayin'
[SID]
I've got somethin' better
[BABE]
What I mean is
[SID]
For your lips
[BABE]
I was only
[SID]
To do
(spoken)
Now, what were you sayin'?
[BABE]
I don't wanna talk small talk
[SID]
I've got somethin' better for your lips to do
[BABE]
And that takes no talk
[SID]
And that takes no talk
[SID & BABE]
At all
