Another Broadway Theme Song
Words by Sammy Cahn
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse
THERE ARE THOSE, I SUPPOSE
THINK WE'RE MAD, HEAVEN KNOWS,
THE WORLD HAS GONE... TO RACK AND TO RUIN!
WHAT WE THINK IS CHIC, UNIQUE AND QUITE ADORABLE,
THEY THINK IS ODD AND SODOM AND GOMORRAHBLE!
BUT THE FACT IS:
Chorus
EV'RYTHING TODAY IS THOROUGHLY MODERN,
(CHECK YOUR PERSONALITY!),
EV'RYTHING TODAY MAKES YESTERDAY SLOW,
(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 COZY,
(IF THE BOY IS KISSABLE!),
AND THAT TANGO DANCE THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW,
(NOW IS QUITE PERMISSABLE!),
GOODBYE, GOOD GOODY GIRL,
I'M CHARGING AND HOW,
SO BEAT THE DRUMS! 'CAUSE HERE COMES
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE NOW!
EV'RYTHING TODAY IS THOROUGHLY MODERN,
(BANDS ARE GETTING JAZZIER!),
EV'RYTHING TODAY IS STARTING TO GO,
(CARS ARE GETTING SNAZZIER!),
MEN SAY... IT'S CRIMINAL,
WHAT WOMEN'LL DO,
WHAT THEY'RE... FORGETTING IS
THIS IS NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO!
HAVE YOU SEEN THE WAY THEY KISS IN THE MOVIES?
(ISN'T IT DELECTABLE?),
PAINTING LIPS AND PENCIL LINING YOUR BROW?
(NOW IS QUITE RESPECTABLE!),
GOODBYE, GOOD GOODY GIRL,
I'M CHARGING AND HOW,
SO BEAT THE DRUMS! 'CAUSE HERE COMES
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE NOW!
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
