Chorus
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 alteration
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 no
2. Picture this town that once was just a pasture
Picture the girls who roam’d 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 decollete
No chance not in a thousand years
The girls today are all for Cabaret
