Prelude: Thoroughly Modern Millie

There are those, I suppose, Think we're mad Heaven knows the world is gone To wrack and to ruin What we think is chic, unique and quite adorable They think is odd and "Sodom and Gomorrable" But the fact is everything today is thoroughly modern Check your personality! Everything today makes yesterday slow Better face reality It's not insanity - says Vanity Fair In fact, it's stylish to Raise your skirt 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 permissable! Good-bye, good-goody girl, I'm changing and how So beat the drums 'cause here comes Thoroughly modern Millie now! Everything today is thoroughly modern Bands are gettin' jazzier Sverything today is starting to go Cars are gettin' snazzier Men say it's criminal what women'll do What they're forgetting is this is 1922! 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! Good-bye, good-goody girl, I'm changing and how! So beat the drums 'cause here comes Thoroughly modern Millie now!
