(G, D, C)

In the depths of the building,
close to the olive tree
The children come to speak,
Sometime in the Late afternoon
There is a table in that room,
that talks the period away
Table #5,
where 5 social ladies sit

Chorus
(reverse cords-faster tempo)
Talking is fun; it's a way of life
We talk for pleasure, we talk all night
We may be impertinent, but that's all right
cause... Talking is our constitutional right

(Holcomb) is the quiet one,
she listens and she's polite
Jacobs spends the time talking,
about what she did last night
Medusa was once a mighty talkasaurus
but now has promised to become a mime
That leaves the table's little Friend
Who sometimes doesn't know she is talking
But Huestdt is there to help her friends
and tells them when to stop their talking

Chorus
(reverse cords-faster tempo)
Talking is fun; it's a way of life
We talk for pleasure, we talk all night
We may be impertinent, but that's all right
cause... Talking is our constitutional right

When it is time for me to teach,
table 5 keeps on talking
Sound emanates,
and never stops its flowing
It’s not till everyone else,
lets them know Mr. Mathot is talking
That they remember to be,
G O O D and, not
B A D

Chorus
(reverse cords-faster tempo)
Talking is fun; it's a way of life
We talk for pleasure, we talk all night
We may be impertinent, but that's all right
cause... Talking is our constitutional right

Especially in the class
next to the Olive Tree
