A Little Brains, a Little Talent

A Little Brains, a Little Talent - Gwen Verdon

Written by：Adler/Ross

Don't make me brain

I took the zing out of the king of siam

I took the starch out of the sails

Of the prince of wales

It's no great art gettin' the heart of a man

On a silver platter

A little brains a little talent

With the emphasis on the latter

I made mince meat out of a sweet

Young farmer

I knocked the fight out of a knight

When I pierced his armor

And I'll bet I can upset every male

In a yale regatta

A little brains a little talent

With the emphasis on the latter

You gotta know just what to say and how to say it

You gotta know what game to play and how to play it

You gotta stack those decks with a couple 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 millionaire

There's rase no trick gettin' some hick who is cool

Just a little warmer

A little talent a little brains

With the emphasis on the former

Split up a home way up in nome

Alaska

And wrecked 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 the emphasis on the latter

You gotta know just what to do and how to do it

You gotta know what tea to brew and how to brew it

A little cleaner haricut made maner

We clean

But when she turn the light sun

Guess who was will sing song

Bring on that boy he'll be a toy

To lola

Just one more case

She can erase

With that old boffola

What's my plan

Same as with any man

I'll use the standard platter

Plus a little this a

And a little that a

With the emphasis

On the

On the latter
