We work all day to pay the rent

At night we watch T.V.

We don't dance, we forgot the rhythm

But we aim to please

We choose our smiles from large collections

They're the ones that don't offend

We dress like men, men of true distinction

Then we do it again

These are the ways of the modern world

You're such a modern girl



(chorus)

Take me back to the love jungle

Where all the flowers are red

Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle

I can lose my head

I can lose my head



We go to foreign movies for the very groovy

But never look bored

We buy books for the way they look

Don't read them at all

And on the weekends we see our families

They think we're very smart

We don't talk we forgot the words yeah

But we will go far

These are the ways of the modern world

You're such a modern girl



(REPEAT CHORUS)



Shake shake

You better shake shake

Shake shake

You better shake your body down

You better shake shake



Oh we go to cocktail parties for the very arty

The time goes by I'm so polite hmm.. you're very pretty

Well ain't that nice

We keep our dreams in big glass bottles

By the bathroom door

Just waiting for the day when we can take them

And smash them on the floor

These are the ways of the modern world

You're such a modern girl



(REPEAT CHORUS x 2
