Just an Old Fashioned Girl

I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind

Not sophisticated, I'm the plain and simple kind

I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence

And an old fashioned millionaire

I'd like a plain simple car, a cerise Cadillac

Long enough to have 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

Catch 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

My 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
