Lyrics

[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 fruit now? [SID] Now that I'm alone with you [BABE] Got so a buck ain't worth a hoot 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'll 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? I've got somethin' better For your lips to do I don't wanna talk small talk I've got somethin' better for your lips to do [BABE] And that takes no talk [SID] And that takes no talk [BABE & SID] At all
