Thoroughly Modern Millie
Lyrics
There are those,
(There are those)
I suppose,
(I suppose)
Think we're mad
(Think we're mad)
Heaven knows
(Heaven knows, Heaven knows)
The world has gone to rack and to ruin
...
What we think is chic, unique, and quite adorable
They think is odd and Sodem and Gamorrah-ble!
But the fact is
Everything today is thoroughly modern!
(Check you personality)
Everthing today makes yesterday slow!
(Better face reality)
It's not insanity says Vanity Fair.
In fact, it's stylish to raise your skirts and bob your hair!
Have you seen the way they kiss in the movies?
(Isn't it delectible?)
Painting lips and pencil lining your brow
(Now it's quite respectable)
Goodbye, good-goody girl!
I'm changing, and how!
So beat the drums cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!
...
What we think is chic, unique, and quite adorable
They think is odd and Sodem and Gamorrah-ble!
But the fact is
Everything today is thoroughly modern!
(Bands are getting jazier)
Everthing today is starting to go!
(Cars are getting snazzier)
Men say it's criminal what women'll do
What they're forgetting is this is 1922!
...
Goodbye, good-goody girl!
I'm changing, and how!
I'm changing, and how!
So beat the drums cause here comes thoroughly
Hot off the press, one step ahead, jazz age
Whoopie baby, we're so throroughly modern
Millie now!
