lyrics

Well she’s a real case study
With a feminine mystique
She reads Jack Kerouac
She’s an amphetamine freak

Well she purrs like Ann-Margret
She’s Grace Kelly cool
With her Virginia Slim cigarette
She’s breakin’ all the rules

She’ll blow your mind before it’s time
And never bother to explain
Just where she goes no one knows
She’s off on another plane

(Ch)
Cuz she’s so mid-century
A stone cold mystery
She gonna re-write history
She's So Mid-Century

She's got an oral fixation
With her princess telephone
She'll bang the Beat Generation
And then you’re gone Daddy gone

She's got all the Wright angles
And all the Wright curves
She digs the Jazz and Bossa Nova
On Blue Note and Verve

(Pre-Ch)
Ya can’t figure out what she’s all about
But man, she’s got a hold on you
She don’t tick like the other chicks
She's 50 years overdue

(Ch)
Yeah she’s so mid-century
A stone cold mystery
She gonna re-write history
She's So Mid-Century
