There are those
I suppose
Think we're mad
Heaven knows
The world is gone
To wrack and to ruin
What we think is chic, unique, and quite adorable
They think is odd and Sodom and Gomorrable
But the fact is
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Check your personality!
Everything today makes yesterday slow
Better face reality!
It's not
Insanity
Says Vanity Fair
In fact
It's stylish to raise your skirt and bob your hair
In the rumble seat, the world is so cozy
If the boy is kissable!
And that tango dance they wouldn't
Allow
Now is quite permissable!
Goodbye, good-goody girl
I'm changing, and how!
So beat the drums 'cause here comes
Thoroughly modern Millie now!
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Bands are gettin' jazzier
Everything today is starting to go
Cars are gettin' snazzier
Men say it's criminal what women'll do
What they're forgetting is, this is 1922!
Have you seen the way they kiss in the movies?
Isn't it delectable!
Painting lips and pencil-lining your brow
Now is quite respectable!
Goodbye, good-goody girl
I'm changing, and how!
So beat the drums 'cause here comes
Thoroughly modern Millie now!
