Bing Crosby

Thoroughly Modern Millie
There are thoseI supposeThink we're madHeaven knowsThe world has goneTo rack and to ruinWhat we think is chic, unique and quite adorableThey think is odd and Sodom and Gomorrah-ableBut the fact isEverything today is thoroughly modernCheck your personalityEverything today makes yesterday slowBetter face reality.It's not insanitySays Vanity FairIn fact, it's stylishTo raise your skirts and bob your hair.In a rumble seat, the world is so causeyIf the boy is kissableAnd that tango dance they wouldn't allowNow is quite permissible.Goodbye, good'-goody girlI'm changing and how!So beat the drumsSongtexteCause here comes thoroughly modernMillie now!Everything today is thoroughly modernBands are gettin' jazzierEverything today is starting to goCars are gettin' snazzierMen say it's criminalWhat women'll do.What they're forgetting isThis is Nineteen Twenty-Two.Have you seen the way they kiss in the movies?Isn't it delectable?Painting lips and pencil lining your browNow is quite respectable.Goodbye good'-goody girlI'm changing and how!So beat the drumsCause here comes thoroughly modernMillie now!
