Lyrics

La-la-la-la She's so 20th century She's so 1970's She knows the right things to say She's got the right clothes to wear Cos she's a modern girl, oh yeah A modern girl yeah, ga-ga-ga-ga-ga. A modern girl, oh yeah. And Suzie is a jewel, She flashes when she smiles. She's cunning and she's clever She's got the lowdown in her files. Magenta is the best You know whe really makes me laugh She's always tryin' her impressions She wants to be a photograph, I gotta say now She's so 20th century She's so etc... Jean confided to me She's Mona Lisa's biggest fan She drew a mustache on her face She's always seen her as a man And Charlie ain't no Nazi She likes to wear her leather boots Cos it's exciting for the veterans And it's a tonic for the troops. She's so 20th century, oh yeah.
