Never been to London, never been to France

never was sorry never learned to dance

Never walked down to 42nd Street and Frairs

never smoked any filtered air



Guess it's true what all the people say

gonna have to mend my old time ways, yeah

I guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life



Never walked about on the streets at night

never got into an uptown fight

Never smoked a hookah, never saw a rug

couldn't even squash a beetle bug



Guess it's true I'm gonna have to change my ways

guess it's true what all the people say, yeah

I know it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life



Never went to parties in a chauffeured car

never wore a top hat 'cause I won't get far

Never learned to handle all the things that I've seen

maybe I'll grow up to be big and mean



Guess it's true what all the people say

gonna have to change my old fashioned ways, well

I guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
