Thoroughly modernmillie/second hand rose/mame


(sammy cahn, j.v. huesen/james hanley, grantclarke, harlan howard/jerry herman)

There are three well known young ladies
People talk about today
Three young ladies known for fortune and fame
They arent mod
They dont sing rock
A real old fashioned trio
Who are simply known as millie, rose and mame

Thoroughly modern millie

Everything today is thoroughly modern
Check your personality
Everything today makes yesterday slow
You better face reality

Its not insanity
Says vanity fair
In fact, its 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 wouldnt allow

Goodbye, good, goody girl
Im changing and how
So beat the drums
Cause here comes thoroughly modern millie now

Second hand rose

Im wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
Thats why they call me second hand rose
(youre ragged)
Even my pajamas when I don em
Has somebody elses nitials on em
(initials)

Second hand pearls
Oh, Im wearing second hand curls
I never had a single thing thats new
(whats a girl to do about it? )

Once while strolling through the ritz
A girl got my goat
(whatd she do? )
She nudged her friend and said
Oh, look, theres my old fur coat
(and how embarassing)
And everyone knows that Im 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
Youve got that banjo strummin
Plunkin out a tune to beat the band
The whole plantations 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
Youre special fascinationll prove to be inspirational
We think youre 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 its criminal
What women will do
What theyre forgetting is
This is 1922

Second hand shoes
Im wearing second hand hose
Theyve all been worn before

Youre special fascinationll prove to be inspirational
We think youre just sensational mame
Not to mention rose and millie
We think youre just sensational mame

Youre special fascinationll prove to be inspirational
We think youre just sensational mame
Come on lets groove it, one last time
We think youre just sensational mame

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
