A Little Brains, A Little Talent (From "Damn Yankees")

歌詞

[LOLA] 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 latta! 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 no trick gettin' some hick who is cool Just a little warmer A little brains-a little talent 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 You've seen the sign that says George Washington once slept here Well tho' nobody spied him Guess who was beside him? Bring out 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 latter!
