Lyrics

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
I gotta buy me a dressy dress
The one that I have is such a mess
Small talk
Who will you vote for next election?
How do you like the stamp collection?
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
No?
Yes
(sung)
I don't wanna talk small talk
What do you think they charge for fruit now?
Now that I'm alone with you
Got so a buck ain't worth a hoot now
I don't wanna talk small talk
Read where the winters are getting milder
We've got bigger things to do
And that the teenage kids are wilder
Let's not talk of the weather
One of these days I'll paint the kitchen
Or the fashions for the fall
Get Pop to put a new light switch in
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
And that takes no talk
And that takes no talk
At all
