Just an Old Fashioned Girl

Lyrics

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 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
