Yah ta-ta, Yah-ta-ta (Talk, Talk, Talk) - Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Joseph Lilley

My hat?

Oh Bing, how nice of you to ask me that

Because there’s a very interesting story

Connected with this hat, there really is

I was walking down the street the other day

Ran into Mllicent Palmer, you know Millicent Palmer

A very dear friend of mine

How do I get involved?

Well we walked around the corner for what passes

For a millinery shop and she looked in the window and

Saw my hat and said, «that is for you»

I went in, the saleslady put it on my head and I

Thought it was a little matronly

Time

Oh, now wait, no wait

Cut

When I got my arm around you and we’re going for a walk

Must you ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, talk, talk, talk

When we’re sitting close together in a cozy taxi cab

Must you ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, gab, gab, gab

Aristotle, mathematics, economics, antique chairs

The classics, the comics, darling, who cares?

There’s a brand new moon this evening and the weather should be fine

If you ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, same old line

I’ll politely close your lips with mine

How’s your golf Bing?

My golf?

Ho-ho I’m really moving that ball out there, striking it a ton

I had a sixty-nine Sunday, should have been a sixty-five

Terrific wind blowing, couldn’t drop a single putt, it was murder

Oh, I lost my head with this question

And of course the equipment, you just can’t get any golf balls anymore

The actors are hoarding them all… and the caddies, huh they want an

Annuity for eighteen holes.

You’ve got to take an option on one to be sure

He’ll show up

Cut

Sorry

When the parlour lights are lowered and the family isn’t in

Must you ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, chin, chin, chin

When there’s music softly playing and I’m sitting on your lap

Must you ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, yap, yap, yap

Forward passes, second baggers, or a jockey who is hot

Or boxing, or hockey, darling, so what?

I’ll attempt some other evening

Well you can call for me at nine

Calling?

But if you ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, ya-ta-ta, same old line

What do you mean the same old line?

Same line

You asked me about my hat

You’ve been standing there for an hour

And a half talking your big fat head off

I thought

About golf

I just

You didn’t even let me finish my story

I told you what I would do

Oh darling, let me finish

Steady, steady

Oh

It’s so nice to close your lips with mine
