Small Talk

[SID, spoken]
No, honey, I do not want a Western. Food is not uppermost in my thoughts at the moment.

[BABE, spoken]
I guess you want some coffee too, huh?

[SID, spoken]
No, no. It'll keep me awake. Now cut that out!

[BABE, spoken]
What's the matter, lover?

[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
I rеad in a book the other day
That halibut spawn in early May
And horsеs 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'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?

[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
And that takes no talk at all

(spoken)
How do you fell about me, Babe?

[BABE, spoken]
I love you terribly.

[SID, spoken]
If we both feel the same way about each other, isn't that enough?

[BABE, spoken]
You don't know me.

[SID, spoken]
Babe, I love you.

[BABE, spoken]
All right, I can take it if you can.
(sung)
I don't wanna talk small talk

[SID]
I've got somethin' better for your lips to do
And that takes no talk at all
