Damn Yankees movie - A Little Brains - a Little Talent lyrics

rate me

<br>

[LOLA]<br>

I took the zing out of the King of Siam<br>

I took the starch out of the sails<br>

Of the Prince of Wales<br>

It's no great art, gettin' the heart of a man<br>

On a silver platter<br>

A little brains-a little talent<br>

With the emphasis on the latter!<br>

<br>

I made mince-meat out of a sweet young farmer!<br>

I knocked the fight out of a knight<br>

When I pierced his armor<br>

And I'll bet, I can upset every male<br>

In a Yale regatta!<br>

A little brains-a little talent<br>

With the emphasis on the latta!<br>

<br>

You gotta know just what to say and how to say it<br>

You gotta know what game to play and how to play it<br>

You gotta stack those decks with a couple-a extra aces<br>

And this queen has her aces<br>

In all the right places!<br>

<br>

I've done much more than that old bore, Delilah!<br>

I took the curl out of the hair of a millionaire<br>

There's no trick gettin' some hick who is cool<br>

Just a little warmer<br>

A little brains-a little talent<br>

With the emphasis on the former!<br>

<br>

Split up a home, way up in Nome, Alaska!<br>

And wrecked the life of every wife<br>

Down in Madagascar<br>

Ask me why weak men'll die for me<br>

Strong men simply shatter<br>

A little brains-a little talent<br>

With the emphasis on the latter!<br>

<br>

You gotta know just what to do and how to do it<br>

You gotta know what tea to brew and how to brew it<br>

You've seen the sign that says George Washington once slept here<br>

Well tho' nobody spied him<br>

Guess who was beside him?<br>

Bring out that boy, he'll be a toy to Lola<br>

<br>

Just one more case she can erase with that old boffola<br>

What's my plan. same as with any man<br>

I'll use the standard platter<br>

Plus a little this-a-and a little that-a<br>

With the emphasis on the latter!<br>

<br>
