Neil Hefti, Bobby Troup (1965), Jazz Standard
They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight,
They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbor's fight;
Inconsequential things that men don't really care about,
Become essential things that women find so "apropo"
But that's a dame, they're all the same; it's just a game.
They call it Girl Talk, Girl Talk.
They all meow about the ups and downs of all their friends,
The "who", the "how", the "why", they dish the dirt it never ends.
The weaker sex, the speaker sex we mortal males behold,
But tho' we joke we wouldn't trade them for a ton of gold.
So baby stay and gab away, but hear me say that after Girl Talk,
Talk to me.
"Girl Talk" is a popular song composed by Neal Hefti, with lyrics written by Bobby Troup. It was written for the 1965 film Harlow, a biographical film about Jean Harlow, starring Carroll Baker.
The song has been described by Michael Feinstein as the "last great male chauvinistic song written in the '60s".
Artists who have covered it: Julie London, Tony Bennett, Sergio Mendes, Chris Montez, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra Jr, Steve Tyrell, many more...
