Lyrics
I have been rehearsing things to say to you
If you would listen in
I could sit conversing night and day to you
How does it all begin?
Men must know how to flatter
Or they’re put on the shelf
I’ll be sure that what I say will matter
If the subject should be yourself
Refrain
Let’s sit and talk about you
Let’s sit and talk about us
(I’ll sit and listen all day)
Oh, but it’s fun to discuss
The crazy things we love to do
Let’s sit and talk about me
Let me assure you I’m grand
(I hope to tell you you’re grand)
I’d be so easy to handle
Gee! the possibility!
Why is it, at each visit I sit and I stare?
What does it, and what was it
Made me care for you?
You tell the world about me
I’ll tell the world about you
(I’ll tell ’em plenty ’bout you)
We’ll tell the world about us
They won’t believe it’s true
