I tried with online dating

Met these modern types of guys

I'd open doors for them

Pay the bill when we would dine

But soon found modern men would rather spend their lives online

That's when fate brought me my ginger valentine

Bright red hair and soft green eyes

He's a handsome Scot!

c guy with sweet old-fashioned ways

He's a twentieth century fox!

Ladies first, he takes my coat

He holds a steady job

Calls me ma'am, and brings me sweets

He's a twentieth century fox!

Some modernized men have tried to take me out

Twenty-first century style

My wonderful guy has manners and such class

Freckle-faced skin and a beautiful smile

He picks me up, his car is clean

He's always on the dot, his hair is slick

His shoes are shined

He's my ginger-haired treasure

In red-headed splendour

Twentieth century fox!

He waits to eat till I get served

He loves a peaty scotch

He doesn't curse, he reads the news

He's a twentieth century fox!

Don't know if I'll walk the aisle

Cause here's the paradox

To build a modern way of life

With a twentieth century fox!

Friends tending to choose such narcissist flames?

I told them go right ahead

Some more modern men will want to play head games

I'd have to say, I'll stick with Red

He told my folks he bought a ring

It gives me food for thought

If I should build a den of love

With a gentleman tender

Tall, fair and slender

Twentieth century fox!

He's such a fox!
