Chatterbox, chatterbox, chatterbox, talking all day long
Chatterbox, chatterbox, chatterbox, like an endless song
Your voice would rival the sweetest of birds
But you keep using the wrong little words
Chatterbox, chatterbox, chatterbox, give your heart a chance
Chatterbox, chatterbox, chatterbox, speaking of romance
How about saying, "I love you, I do",
I never knew a chatterbox like you

You talk a mile a minute
But there's nothing in it
It's much too much
All your conversation
Is a recitation
On life and such
If I wanted knowledge
I would go to college
My Chickadee
Won't you stop your chattering
And say you love me

Chatterbox, chatterbox, chatterbox, give your heart a chance
Chatterbox, chatterbox, chatterbox, speaking of romance
How about saying, "I love you, I do",
I never knew a chatterbox like you

(Vera)
Like me

(Jack)
Like you.
