Small Talk - John Raitt/Janis Paige/Ensemble

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

Read in a book the other day

That halibut spawn in early may and horses whinney

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 better 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 that small talk

Like I was saying

I've got something better

For your lips

I was only

To do

And that talk small talk at or

I don't want to talk small talk

I've got something better for your lips to do

And that takes no talk at all
