THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
Everything today is thoroughly modern Check your personality Everything today makes yesterday slow You better face reality
It's not insanity Says Vanity Fair In fact, it's stylish to raise your skirts and bob your hair
In a rumble seat the world is so cosy If the boy is kissable And that tango dance they wouldn't allow
Goodbye, good, goody girl I'm changing and how So beat the drums cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now
SECOND HAND ROSE
I'm wearing second hand hats Second hand clothes That's why they call me second hand Rose (You're ragged) Even my pajamas when I don em Has somebody else's nitials on 'em (Initials)
Second hand pearls Oh, I'm wearing second hand curls I never had a single thing that's new (What's a girl to do about it?)
Once while strolling through the Ritz A girl got my goat (What'd she do?) She nudged her friend and said Oh, look, there's my old fur coat (And how embarassing) And everyone knows that I'm just second hand Rose From second avenue
MAME You coax that blues right out of the horn, Mame You charm that husk right off of the corn, Mame You've got that banjo strummin Plunkin out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land
You make them blackeyed peas and our grits, Mame Seems like the bill of fare at the Ritz, Mame You came, you saw, you conquered And absolutely nothing was the same You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational We think you're just sensational, Mame
Everything today is thoroughly modern Bands are getting jazzier (Mame) And everything today is starting to go The cars are getting snazzier (Mame)
Men say it's criminal What women will do What they're forgetting is This is 1922
Second hand shoes I'm wearing second hand hose They've all been worn before
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational We think you're just sensational Mame Not to mention Rose and Millie We think you're just sensational Mame
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational We think you're just sensational Mame Come on let's groove it, one last time We think you're just sensational MameTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
