(Verse 1)
The modern wife
Leads a dreadful life
That seems the modern fashion
For wicked ways
And cabarets
She seems to have a passion
I never shall be up to date
That sort of thing I know I'd hate
(Chorus 1)
So I want to be a good little wife
In the good old-fashioned way
I'll honor and obey
From home I'll never stray
Although the thing that's smart is
To be out all night at parties
I'll be sitting
With my knitting
In the good old-fashioned way
(Verse 2)
It's thought quite queer
If they last a year
These marriages that we know
You've hardly cried
"Here comes the bride!"
Before she's off to Reno
They'll have to change it, I suppose
From "Here she comes" to "There she goes
The modern wife
Leads a dreadful life
That seems the modern fashion
For wicked ways
And cabarets
She seems to have a passion
I never shall be up to date
That sort of thing I know I'd hate
(Chorus 1)
So I want to be a good little wife
In the good old-fashioned way
I'll honor and obey
From home I'll never stray
Although the thing that's smart is
To be out all night at parties
I'll be sitting
With my knitting
In the good old-fashioned way
(Verse 2)
It's thought quite queer
If they last a year
These marriages that we know
You've hardly cried
"Here comes the bride!"
Before she's off to Reno
They'll have to change it, I suppose
From "Here she comes" to "There she goes
