Smooth Talker

She's such a smooth talker She could talk the rust right off of a nail Given a chance at a Saturday dance She could talk the slow out of a snail I saw her wake up one morning And talk the sun into sharing its shine Then she went into the garden And talked the melon right out of its rind We went down to the ocean Where she talked the blue out of the sea That's the day I remember She talked the love straight into me My girl, she could talk a flower Into giving its fragrance away She could also talk the words out Of a mute man with nothing to say I took her to the park She talked the kanga right out of the roo That's the day she talked me Into saying I love you I've even seen my baby Talk an ant out of its picnic lunch One day on the side of the highway A hitchhiker gave her his thumb Whenever she plays storm chaser This girl talks the wind out of its breeze But she's not the only smooth talker I talked her into marrying me
