Woman Talk - Carmen McRae

Woman chatter, woman talk

Woman chatter, woman talk

We sit around in the shade

Using the good day God made

Just gossiping 'till its noon, soon

What phases you and what thrills me

And what we think our men do

One lazy palm leaf to fan

Two lazy ladies who just sit

Gossiping 'till its noon, soon

And if those men could only hear

What we ladies say

Woman chatter, woman talk

For men are to blame

Not understanding

They take, they break

They’re so demanding

Always they wreck

Always they take

Always they play the clown

They’re so incredibly lazy

They’re so lazy that its crazy

The things they do to you

They’re always out

Out and about the town, dear

And men are such liars

Such liars, it tires

And men are so stubborn

What can you do?

Really very stubborn

I put it to you

Oh if only they could hear us talking

Only hear us talking

See us sitting here

Sitting here and talking dear

We’re two girls with a grievance

What do we do?

We should leave those men alone

On their own, yes I’m putting it you

I’m putting it you dear

I’d put it to you

If they were only here

Right here where they could hear

I’d tell those men again

What they could do

While we just sit, alone

We sit alone in the shade

And talk the kind of talk

We girls keep-uh talking

To-hide-thought talk

Oh, if those men could only hear

What we ladies say

Woman chatter, woman talk

Woman chatter, woman talk

Woman chatter, woman talk

Away
