The Pajama Game: Small Talk

No, honey, I do not want a western

Food is not uppermost in my thoughts at the moment

(I guess you want some coffee too, huh?)

No, no, it'll keep me awake

Now, cut that out

(What's the matter, lover?)

I don't want to talk small talk

Now that I'm alone with you

I don't want to 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 something better for your lips to do

And that takes no talk at all

(I've got to 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

I 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

I don't want to talk small talk

(What do you think they charge for ham now?)

Now that I'm alone with you

(Got so a buck ain't worth a damn now)

I don't want to 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'm gonna 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?

(Like I was sayin')

I've got something better

(What I mean is)

For your lips to do

(I was only)

And that takes no talk at all

How do you feel about me, babe?

(I love you terribly)

If we both feel the same way about each other

Isn't that enough?

(You don't know me)

Babe, I love you

(Alright)

(I can take it if you can)

I don't wanna talk small talk

I've got something better for your lips to do

And that takes no talk at all
