| I’m just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind
|
| Not sophisticated, I’m the sweet and simple kind.
|
| I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
|
| And an old fashioned millionaire.
|
| I want an old fashioned car, a cerise Cadillac,
|
| Long enough to put a bowling alley in the back.
|
| I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
|
| And an old fashioned millionaire.
|
| I’ll stay weaving at my loom,
|
| Be no trouble to my groom,
|
| If he’ll keep the piles of money mounting.
|
| In our cottage there will be
|
| A soundproof nursery
|
| Not to wake the baby while I’m counting.
|
| I like the old fashioned flowers, violets are for me —
|
| Have them made in diamonds by the man at Tiffany.
|
| I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
|
| And an old fashioned millionaire.
|
| I’m just a pilgrim at heart, oh so pure and genteel.
|
| Watch me in Las Vegas while I’m at the spinning wheel!
|
| I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
|
| And an old fashioned millionaire.
|
| I’ll ask for such simple things when my birthday occurs:
|
| Two apartment buildings that are labeled 'Hers' and 'Hers'.
|
| I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
|
| And an old fashioned millionaire.
|
| I like Chopin and Bizet
|
| And the songs of yesterday,
|
| String quartets and Polynesian carols.
|
| But the music that excels
|
| Is the sound of oil wells
|
| As they slurp, slurp, slurp into the barrels.
|
| Our little home will be quaint as an old parasol,
|
| And instead of carpets I’ll have money wall to wall.
|
| I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
|
| And an old fashioned millionaire |
