Lyrics:

The telephone rings; I stop what I'm doin'
A voice says "hello," but it's not human
It's a computer callin' - yuk! --
to sell me . . . insurance?!! I hang up.

Chorus
I'm a little old fashioned girl living in a 21st century world
I'm a little old fashioned girl living in a 21st century world

If I had a clone, I'd get more done
She'd do my job, and I'd have fun
But she'd have my face; she'd have my pay
I think I'll keep my DNA.

(Chorus)

Bridge
But I wouldn't go back to the old days,
before the web page, before the microwave

Speedin' down this brave new road,
feelin' like a one-woman rodeo –
fingers on the laptop, chin on the phone.
Leave me a message – 'cause I'm not home!

(Chorus)
