lyrics

You know, the world moves at such a quickened pace
You boot up, you login, you press a button
And pretty soon you're out in cyberspace
But I know a girl with her feet firmly in place

She's prim and proper
A little on her guard
Goes to church on Sundays
Grows peonies in her yard
We went out on a date
She sent a "Thank You" card
My old-fashioned girl

She plays Canasta
Penny a point to win
Just drinks one cocktail
Any more would be a sin
She's in bed a 10:30
Man, she just won't let me in
My old-fashioned girl

Sadie Hawkins' Day
Canapes
Postcards from Coney Isle
High-collared shirts
A fountain pen that works
No time for rock-and-rolla
She's got Django on her Victrola

She dance the foxtrot
Always let's me lead
Bought me a jacket
Says I'm toothsome in a tweed
She's self-possessed
She's got everything she needs
My old-fashioned girl
My old-fashioned girl
