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