The Supremes - Thoroughly ModernMillie/Second Hand Rose/Mame songtekst

Je score:


(Sammy Cahn, J.V. Huesen/James Hanley, GrantClarke, Harlan Howard/Jerry Herman) 



There are three well known young ladies

People talk about today

Three young ladies known for fortune and fame

They aren't Mod

They don't sing Rock

A real old fashioned trio

Who are simply known as Millie, Rose and Mame



THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE



Everything today is thoroughly modern

Check your personality

Everything today makes yesterday slow

You 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 cosy

If the boy is kissable

And that tango dance they wouldn't allow



Goodbye, good, goody girl

I'm changing and how

So beat the drums 

cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now



SECOND HAND ROSE



I'm wearing second hand hats

Second hand clothes

That's why they call me second hand Rose

(You're ragged)

Even my pajamas when I don em

Has somebody else's nitials on 'em

(Initials)



Second hand pearls

Oh, I'm wearing second hand curls

I never had a single thing that's new

(What's a girl to do about it?)



Once while strolling through the Ritz

A girl got my goat

(What'd she do?)

She nudged her friend and said

Oh, look, there's my old fur coat

(And how embarassing)

And everyone knows that I'm just second hand Rose

From second avenue



MAME 

You coax that blues right out of the horn, Mame 

You charm that husk right off of the corn, Mame

You've got that banjo strummin

Plunkin out a tune to beat the band

The whole plantation's hummin' 

Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land



You make them blackeyed peas and our grits, Mame

Seems like the bill of fare at the Ritz, Mame

You came, you saw, you conquered 

And absolutely nothing was the same

You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational

We think you're just sensational, Mame



Everything today is thoroughly modern

Bands are getting jazzier

(Mame)

And everything today is starting to go

The cars are getting snazzier

(Mame)



Men say it's criminal

What women will do

What they're forgetting is

This is 1922



Second hand shoes

I'm wearing second hand hose

They've all been worn before



You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational

We think you're just sensational Mame

Not to mention Rose and Millie

We think you're just sensational Mame



You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational 

We think you're just sensational Mame

Come on let's groove it, one last time

We think you're just sensational Mame
