Текст песни: A Little Brains, A Little Talent + перевод

Applegate: There’s not a homewrecker on my staff better than you, Lola

But this fella is stubborn!

Lola: Ah, chief, you know I’ve got what it takes

Don’t make me brag!

I took the zing out of the King of Siam

I took the starch out of the sails

Of the prince of Wales

There’s no great art

Getting the heart of a man

On a silver platter

A little brains, a little talent

With an emphasis on the latter

I made mincemeat

Out of a sweet young farmer

I knocked the fight

out of a knight

When I pierced his armor

And I’ll bet, I could upset every male

In a Yale regatta!

A little brains, a little talent

With an emphasis on the latter

You’ve gotta know just what to say and how to say it You’ve gotta know what game to play

And how to play it You gotta stack those decks with a coupl’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 millionare

There is no trick

getting some hick who is cool

Just a little warmer

A little talent, a little brains

With an emphasis on the former

Split up a home

Way up in Nome, Alaska

And wreck 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 an emphasis on the latter

You’ve gotta know just what to do And how to do it

You’ve gotta know what tea to brew it And how to brew it You see the sign that said «George Washington once slept here»

Well though nobody spied him

Guess who was beside him?

Bring on that boy, he’ll be a toy

To Lola

Just one more case she can erase

With that old boffolo

What’s my plan?

Same as with every man

I’ll use the standard platter

Plus a little this-a

And a little that-a

With an emphasis on the

On the latter!
