Song Description
You can throw a quick kiss my way,
But you got a glass to fill up.
And you got a glass to pour down.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I'm talkin' to myself.
Thank God I'm talkin' to myself.

Lyrics
VERSE A:
You can come back home every day.
You can toss a bone to the pup.
You can throw a quick kiss my way,
But you got a glass to fill up.
And you got a glass to pour down.
And you got a tale you might tell.
And yer gettin' rid of your frown.
And I got a bridge I can sell.
CHORUS:
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I'm talkin' to myself.
I'm talkin' to myself.
Doo-dah.
I'm talkin' to myself.
Doo-dah.
I'm talkin' to myself.
Doo-dah.
I said I'm talkin' to myself.
Everybody sing together.
VERSE B:
You can come back home every day.
And I can either stay here or not.
So I guess I'll be on my way.
Oh, this is gonna cost us a lot.
But you got a glass to pour down.
And you got a tale you might tell.
And yer gettin' rid of your frown.
And I got a bridge.
And a well.
Well, well well, well, well,
CHORUS:
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I'm talkin' to myself.
One more time.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
Hmm.
I might as well be talkin' to an olive.
I'm talkin' to myself.
Doo-dah.
I'm talkin' to myself.
Oh yeah.
I'm talkin' to myself.
Doo-dah.
Thank God I'm talkin' to myself.
