I love the old fashioned things

I'm old fashioned

john coltrane

ella fitzgerald

I am not such a clever one

about the latest fads

I admit I was never one

adored by local lads

not that I ever try to be a saint

I'm the type that they classify as quaint

I'm old fashioned

I love the moonlight

I love the old fashioned things

the sound of rain

upon a window pane

the starry song that april sings

this year's fancies

are passing fancies

but sighing sighs holding hands

these my heart understands

I know I'm old fashioned

but I don't mind it

that's how I want to be

as long as you agree

to stay old fashioned with me

I'm old fashioned

but I don't mind it

that's how I want to be

as long as you agree

to stay old fashioned with me

(composed by Jerome Kern / lyrics written by Johnny Mercer)
