[F] [C] [Dm] [C]
[C]I’m just an old fashioned [Em]girl with an [F]old fashioned [C]mind
[F]Not sophisti[C]cated I’m the [D7]sweet and simple [G7]kind
I want an [C]old fashioned [Em]house with an [F]old fashioned [Fm]fence
And an [C]old fashioned [D7]million[G]aire [G7]


I want an [C]old fashioned [Em]car a ce[F]rise Cadi[C]llac
[F]Long enough to [C]put a bowling [D7]alley in the[G7]back
I want an [C]old fashioned [Em]house with an [F]old fashioned [Fm]fence
And an [C]old fashioned [G7]million[C]aire


I’ll stay [Em]weaving at my loom be no [B7]trouble to my groom
If he’ll [Em]keep the [D7]piles of money [G]mounting
In our [F#m]cottage there will [B7]be a [Em]soundproof nursery
Not to [D7]wake the baby while I’m [G]counting [G7]


I like the [C]old fashioned [Em]flowers vio[F]lets are for [C]me
[F]Have them made in [C]diamonds by the [D7]man at Tiffa[G7]ny
I want an [C]old fashioned [Em]house with an [F]old fashioned [Fm]fence
And an [C]old fashioned [D7]million[G]aire [G7]


I’m just a [C]pilgrim at [Em]heart oh so [F]pure and gen[C]teel
[F]Watch me in Las [C]Vegas while I’m [D7]at the spinning [G7]wheel
I want an [C]old fashioned [Em]house with an [F]old fashioned [Fm]fence
And an [C]old fashioned [D7]million[G]aire [G7]


I’ll ask for [C]such simple [Em]things when my [F]birthday o[C]ccurs
[F]Two apartment [C]buildings that are [D7]labelled Hers and [G7]Hers
I want an [C]old fashioned [Em]house with an [F]old fashioned [Fm]fence
And an [C]old fashioned [G7]million[C]aire


I like [Em]Chopin and Bizet and the [B7]songs of yesterday
String quar[Em]tets and [D7]Polynesian [G]carols
But the [F#m]music that ex[B7]cels is the [Em]sound of oil wells
As they [D7]slurp slurp slurp into the [G]barrels [G7]


My little [C]home will be [Em]quaint as an [F]old para[C]sol
[F]And instead of [C]carpet I’ll have [D7]money wall to [G7]wall
I want an [C]old fashioned [Em]house with an [F]old fashioned [Fm]fence
And an [C]old fashioned [G7]million[C]aire


[F] [C] [Dm] [C] [G7] [C]
