Thoroughly Modern Millie Lyrics by Sutton Foster, Thoroughly Modern Millie Ensemble

Thoroughly Modern Millie (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2002

[ENSEMBLE MEN #1 & (#2)]
There are those, there are those
I suppose, I suppose
Think we're mad, think we're mad
Heaven knows, (heaven knows), 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
(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 brows
Now is quite respectable
[MILLIE]
Goodbye, 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]
This is 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!
