Words & Music by Bobby Troup & Neal Hefti
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1966
From the movie "Harlow"


DM7          G#7            GM7               Em7    A7-9   
They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight

F#m7         B7-9             Em7    F#m7     GM7         A9 
They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbor's fight;
      
Dm7     Gm7               E7-5-9             Em7     A7-9   
Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know

F#m7     B7-9               F#m7   Gm7    F#m7    B7  
Become essential things that women find so ap-pro-pos --
     
Bm7              E9                 Em9             Gm7    
But that's a dame, they're all the same it's just a game they call it

F#m7  Bm7   Em7  A9          
Girl talk, girl talk



DM7       G#7           GM7              Em7       A7-9 
They all meow about the ups and downs of all their friends,

F#m7        B7-9                  Em7     F#m7      GM7   A9    
The who, the how, the why -- they dish the dirt, it never ends.

Dm7        Gm7             E7-5-9         Em7    A7-9  
The weaker sex, the "speaker" sex we mortal males behold

F#m7         B7-9              F#m7     Gm7   F#m7     B7     
But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold.



First time:


Bm7        E9           Em9            Gm7       
So baby stay and gab away, but hear me say that after

F#m7 Bm7   Em7  A7-9 D  F#m7  G    Gm7  A9sus4  D9
Girl talk, talk  to  me.

Dm7      E9            GM7              Gm7
So baby stay, and gab away, but hear me say 

           F#m7 Bm9   Em7  Edim  D    B7    Em7    A9   A7     
That after girl talk, talk  to  me.



Last time:

Bm7            E9           Em9                Gm7
It's all been planned, so take my hand; please understand

             F#m7 Bm9   Em7  Edim  D
The sweetest girl talk talks  of  me.
