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 when 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 appartment buildings that are labelled 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
