We never talk much

(Helen)

We never have much to say

(D)We never talk much (H) we do without repartee

(D)We never talk much (H) you ask me what we do all day

(D(We play some records (H) discuss a novel (Both) and we just sit around.



(H) We never walk much (D) such crowds in the street below

(H) We never walk much (D) and where would we want to go

(H) We never walk much (D) 'cause walking fatigues you so

(H) We look at pictures (D) I work a puzzle (Both) and we just sit around.



(D) We planned a lovely day tomorrow

(H) We thought of everything

(H) We found a canary that we can borrow

(D) And tomorrow we'll sit around and let it sing.



(H) We suit each other (D) we both think the same as one

(H) With one another (D) just staring at wall's is fun

(H) I must tell mother (D) her warnings were overdue

(H) Don't know what to do (D) what is it to do

(Both)

We just sit around.

We Never Talk Much, We Just Sit Around

Dean Martin's 'We Never Talk Much, We Just Sit Around' captures the laid-back, introspective spirit that defined his career. Released on the 2007 compilation 'Date With Dean,' the track exemplifies his signature smooth vocal delivery and relaxed tempo, characteristic of the lounge and easy listening genres of the 1950s and 60s. The song reflects Martin's reputation for projecting a cool, unflappable demeanor, often performing while seated, which aligns with the song's title and mood. As part of his extensive discography of romantic and reflective ballads, this recording showcases his ability to convey deep emotion through understated performance rather than dramatic gestures. It remains a staple of his catalog, illustrating the enduring appeal of his unique blend of jazz influences and pop sensibilities.
