A Hundred Years From Now 1914

Everyone today is going crazy,
Everyone today is going mad,
Each one is trying to do
something decidedly new
Just to put the rest in bad.
Every day they change the style of dancing,
Every day they change the style of dress,
Oh, Boys what is it coming to
That's a problem we will have to guess.

I wonder what kind of a life they'll lead
a hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
a hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
that's turning the locks of gold to grey,
We're living a life of constant alterations,
I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
a hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
a hundred years from now,
There's no solution
it's all evolution
I wonder and wonder and wonder
how much the girls are going to wear
a hundred years from now?

I wonder what kind of a life they'll lead
a hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
a hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
that's turning the locks of gold to grey,
We're living a life of constant alterations,
I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
a hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
a hundred years from now,
There's no solution
it's all evolution
I wonder and wonder and wonder
how much the girls are going to wear
a hundred years from now?

Picture this town that once was just a pasture,
Picture the girls
who roamed it years ago
They were the wonderful kind
you know the kind I've in mind
The sort of girl the world calls slow.
Think of a girl today out in a meadow,
Raking the hay a la decolleté,
No chance not in a thousand years,
The girls today are all for Cabaret.

I wonder what kind of a life they'll lead
a hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
a hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
that's turning the locks of gold to grey,
We're living a life of constant alterations,
I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
a hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
a hundred years from now,
There's no solution
it's all evolution
I wonder and wonder and wonder
how much the girls are going to wear
a hundred years from now?

I wonder what kind of a life they'll lead
a hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
a hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
that's turning the locks of gold to grey,
We're living a life of constant alterations,
I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
a hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
a hundred years from now,
There's no solution
it's all evolution
I wonder and wonder and wonder
how much the girls are going to wear
a hundred years from now?
