lyrics

She stole that distant look
Her lines read like a book
Oh, in 1946
She's got an old / new bag of tricks

She'll take you down the stairs
Put petunias in your hair
Not quite sure if they're real
She's a modern girl with a vintage feel

With twenty years she glows
Forever older she grows
And with the sweetest little flinch
She regardless gains an inch

Oh but no, she'll never quit
Yes, she'll find that dress to fit
And she knows Brigitte Bardot
Was a modern girl not that long ago

Her picture's on the walls, la dee da
The new fashions of fall and Dada

At the bottom of the stairs
She looks over her shoulder
Put your head upon her breast
And when you kiss her, taste a hipster
And you stick it to her, "Do you know
Just how true love doth grow?"
With a vapid look like coal
She says, "Does this fur look faux?"

On the corner of St-Cat's and Atwater
The coroner stands where you laid her down
On the modern ground, la dee da
