Everything today is thoroughly modern
Bands are gettin' jazzier
Everything today makes yesterday slow
Cars are gettin' snazzier
It's not insanity, says Vanity Fair
In fact, it's stylish to raise your skirts and bob your hair
In the rumble seat, the world is so cozy
If the boy is kissable
And that tango dance they wouldn't allow
Now is quite permissible
Goodbye, good-goody girl
I'm changing, and how!
So beat the drums
'Cause here she comes
Yes, beat the drums
'Cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!
