I'd like a plain simple car,
A cerise Cadillac —
Long enough to have a bowling alley in the back.

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'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 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.
