Thoroughly Modern Millie (from Thoroughly Modern Millie)

ENSEMBLE MEN:
There are those, I suppose
Think we're mad, heaven knows
The world has gone to rack and to ruin

WOMAN #1:
What we think is chic

WOMAN #2:
Unique

WOMEN #3 & #4:
And quite adorable

ENSEMBLE WOMEN:
They think is odd and "Sodom and Gomorrah"-ble!

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

MILLIE AND ENSEMBLE WOMEN:
Raise your skirts and bob your hair

Have you seen the way they kiss in the movies

ENSEMBLE MEN:
Isn't it delectable?

MILLIE AND ENSEMBLE WOMEN:
Painting lips and pencil lining your brow
Now is quite respectable

Good-bye, 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 "Sodom and Gomorrah"-ble!
But the fact is
Everything today is thoroughly modern

ENSEMBLE MEN:
Bands are getting jazzier

Everything today is starting to go

ENSEMBLE WOMEN:
Cars are getting snazzier

Men say it's criminal what women'll do
What they're forgetting is

This is 1922!

MILLIE AND ENSEMBLE:
Good-bye, good goody girl
I'm changing and how

MILLIE: I'm changing and how!

So beat the drums 'cause here comes thoroughly
Hot off the press! One step ahead! Jazz age!
Whoopee baby! We're so thoroughly modern

Millie!

Now!
