"Pick a Little, Talk a Little" - Merdith Wilson, The Music Man

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, talk a lot, pick a little more
Professor, her kind of woman doesn't belong on any committee.
Of course, I shouldn't tell you this but she advocates dirty books.
Dirty books?!
Chaucer
Rabelais
Balzac!
And the worst thing
Of course, I shouldn't tell you this but
The man lived on my street, let me tell
Stop! I'll tell.
She made brazen overtures to a man who never had a friend in this town till she came here.
Oh, yes
That woman made brazen overtures
With a gilt-edged 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!

He left River City the Library building
But he left all the books to her
Chaucer
Rabelais
Bal-zac!
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
