An Old-Fashioned Tune Always Is New

[Verse:] Nothing's as old as last year's rhythm, nothing's forgotten so soon Nothing's as dated as last year's syncopated tune Ragtime is dead and so is jazz, and swing will leave us cold There's only one kind of music that never grows old [Refrain:] An old-fashioned tune always is new It never seems to go out of style For just when you start thinking it's through It comes down from the shelf with a smile A simple melody will always linger I mean the kind you pick out with one finger If you have some thoughts rhyming with June Express them in an old-fashioned tune
