[Performed Lyrics]
pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little...
talk a lot, pick a little more...
[Original Lyrics]
Alma- Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Alma and Ethel- Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little,
talk a little, cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
All the ladies- Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little,
talk a little, cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Maud- Professor, her kind of woman doesn't belong on any committee.
Of course, I shouldn't tell you this but she advocates dirty books.
Harold- Dirty books?!
Alma- Chaucer
Ethel- Rabelais
Eulalie- Balzac!
Maud- And the worst thing
Of course, I shouldn't tell you this but-
Alma- I'll tell.
Ethel- The man lived on my street, let me tell.
Eulalie- Stop! I'll tell.
She made brazen overtures to a man who never
had a friend in this town till she came here.
Alma- Oh, yes
That woman made brazen overtures
With a gild-edge guarantee
She had a golden glint in her eye
And a silver voice with a counterfeit ring
Just melt her down and you'll reveal
A lump of lead as cold as steel
Here, where a woman's heart should be!
Eulalie, Ethel, Maud, Alma, Mrs Squires-
He left River City the Library building
But he left all the books to her
Alma- Chaucer
Ethel- Rabelais
Eulalie- Bal-zac!
Ladies- Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep
Pick a little, talk a little, cheep!
