A Little Brains, A Little Talent

Applegate: There's not a homewrecker on my staff better than you, Lola But this fella is stubborn! Lola: Ah, chief, you know I've got what it takes Don't make me brag! I took the zing out of the King of Siam I took the starch out of the sails Of the prince of Wales There's no great art Getting the heart of a man On a silver platter A little brains, a little talent With an emphasis on the latter I made mincemeat Out of a sweet young farmer I knocked the fight out of a knight When I pierced his armor And I'll bet, I could upset every male In a Yale regatta! A little brains, a little talent With an emphasis on the latter You've gotta know just what to say and how to say it You've gotta know what game to play And how to play it You gotta stack those decks with a coupl'a extra Aces And this queen has her aces In all the right places I've done much more Than that old bore, Delilah I took the curl out of the hair Of a millionare There is no trick getting some hick who is cool Just a little warmer A little talent, a little brains With an emphasis on the former Split up a home Way up in Nome, Alaska And wreck the life Of every wife Down in Madagascar Ask me why weak men'll die for me Strong men simply shatter A little brains, a little talent With an emphasis on the latter You've gotta know just what to do And how to do it You've gotta know what tea to brew it And how to brew it You see the sign that said "George Washington once slept here" Well though nobody spied him Guess who was beside him? Bring on that boy, he'll be a toy To Lola Just one more case she can erase With that old boffolo What's my plan? Same as with every man I'll use the standard platter Plus a little this-a And a little that-a With an emphasis on the On the latter!
