Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's so 20th century
She's so 1970s
She knows the right things to say
She got the right clothes to wear
'Cause she's a modern girl (Oh, yeah)
A modern girl, yeah (Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga)
A modern girl now (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 2]
And Susie is a jewel
She flashes when she smiles
She's cunning and she's clever
She got the lowdown in her files
[Verse 3]
Magenta is the best
You know she really makes me laugh
She's always tryin' her impressions
She wants to be a photograph, I gotta say it now
[Verse 4]
She's so 20th century
She's so 1970s
She knows the right things to say
She got the right clothes to wear
'Cause she's a modern girl (Oh, yeah)
A modern girl, yeah (Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga)
A modern girl now (Oh, yeah)
She's so modern
[Verse 5]
And Jean confided to me
She's Mona Lisa's biggest fan
She drew a mustache on her face
She's always seen her as a man
[Verse 6]
And Charlie ain't no Nazi
She likes to wear her leather boots
'Cause it's exciting for the veterans
And it's a tonic for the troops
[Verse 7]
She's so 20th century
She's so 1970s
She knows the right things to say
She got the right clothes to wear
'Cause she's a modern girl (Oh, yeah)
A modern girl, yeah (Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga)
A modern girl now (Oh, yeah)
She's so m-m-m-m-modern
[Verse 8]
She's so 20th century
Ooh, 1970s
She knows the right things to say
She got the right clothes to wear, I tell ya
[Verse 9]
She's so 20th century
She's so 1970s
She knows the right things to say
She got the right clothes to wear
She's so (Modern)
