[00:00.000]She's One Of Those Old Fashioned Ladies - Gracie Fields
[00:10.816]My auntie Flo is sixty or so
[00:14.089]She always says she's old-fashioned and slow
[00:17.097]She's never been married
[00:18.293]You'll hear her exclaim
[00:20.009]But she's covered some grass
[00:21.501]In her time all the same
[00:23.262]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[00:27.423]With funny old-fashioned ideas
[00:30.774]Men of today are unmanly she'll say
[00:33.774]And they don't seem to love in the old-fashioned way
[00:37.376]She says she has dreams of a lover sublime
[00:40.797]He comes in her sleep like a nursery rhyme
[00:43.971]So she stays in her bed for three weeks at a time
[00:47.421]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[00:51.561]Cocktails and spirits she never permits
[00:54.653]But last Christmas party she had us in fits
[00:58.146]She drank two small ports and then did the split
[01:01.350]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[01:05.430]Auntie will say: girls of today
[01:08.231]Speak in the naughtiest blush-making way
[01:11.044]But tell her a story you think is new
[01:14.019]And she'll say "I heard that one before I was two "
[01:17.638]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[01:21.360]With funny old-fashioned ideas
[01:25.242]Children today are all spoiled she will say
[01:28.393]How different from good Queen Victoria's day
[01:32.185]Singing she says is an art that is dead
[01:35.166]And crooners well they simply make her see red
[01:38.792]But she's twenty-seven portraits of Bing round her bed
[01:41.913]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[01:45.543]She's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[01:49.050]With funny old-fashioned ideas
[01:52.748]Girls say such things you will hear Auntie tell
[01:55.744]And this slang from America's really well well
[01:59.702]"Gosh" and "oh gee" sound so common she'll say
[02:03.022]The worst of the lot is that dreadful "OK "
[02:06.645]But I heard her call someone a "twerp" yesterday
[02:09.888]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[02:13.423]She says that the talkies with sickness weak
[02:16.539]Not fit for a lady to see or to speak
[02:20.138]And she ought to know she goes five times a week
[02:23.132]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[02:26.948]She's one of those old-fashioned ladies
[02:30.239]With funny old-fashioned ideas
[02:34.079]Husbands today are so rare she will say
[02:36.914]So she just jogs along in her spinsterly way
[02:40.435]It seems such a pity she never was wed
[02:43.634]But she has a cat and a parrot instead
[02:47.076]And a hot-water bottle she always calls "Fred"
[02:52.787]'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
