Boop-boop-a-doop! Everything today is thoroughly modern Fans are getting jazzier Everything today makes yesterday slow Cars are getting snazzier It's not insanity, says vanity fair In fact, it's time to raise your skirts and bob your hair In a rumble seat The world's so cozy if the boy is kissable And that tango dance they wouldn't allow Now, it's quite permissible Goodbye, good-goody girl I'm changing and how So beat the drums 'Cause here she comes Yes, beat the drums 'Cause here comes Thoroughly modern millie now! Boop-boop-a-doop, pooh!
