Reprise: Thoroughly Modern Millie

Lyrics

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 gomorrah-able
 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 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 permissible
 Goodbye, 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
 Everything 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 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 changing and how!
 So beat the drums
 'Cause here comes thoroughly modern
 Millie now!
