Lyrics

Outdated and antiquated
I belong in the past
The future’s uncertain
And today can’t last
Old fashioned, I’m “balderdashing”
Every newfangled trend
Can’t seem to go with the flow
It just don’t make sense
I don’t fit in
Outdated and antiquated
The thoughts in my head
They’re all on their phones
While I write poems instead
Endangered and getting stranger
Eccentric and old
Each day my disc player and I
Might take a stroll
While time takes its toll
But I’m relevant to myself
And I’m stubborn to the core
Go on and see for yourself
They just don’t make 'em like me anymore
Can’t get with the program
Unlike all the rest
Here I stand in the Sally Ann or St. Vincent de Paul
If you promise you’ll take me with my faults and all
I’ll be your doll
'Cause I’m vintage in mint condition
I was meant for you
