"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!

MILLIE
But the fact is,
Everything today is thoroughly modern

ENSEMBLE
Check your personality

MILLIE
Everything today makes yesterday slow

ENSEMBLE
Better face reality

MILLIE
It's not insanity
Says Vanity Fair
In fact, it's stylish to

MILLIE AND ENSEMBLE WOMEN
Raise your skirts and bob your hair

MILLIE
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

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

ENSEMBLE
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

ENSEMBLE
Everything today is starting to go

ENSEMBLE WOMEN
Cars are getting snazzier

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

MILLIE
Thisis 1922!

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

MILLIE
I'm changing and how!

ALL
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
Millie!

ALL
Now!
