Twentieth Century Fox Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, she's fashionably lean
And she's fashionably late
She'll never wreck a scene
She'll never break a date
But she's no drag just watch the way she walks

[Chorus]
She's a twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox

No tears, no fears
No ruined years, no clocks
She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
She's the queen of cool
And she's the lady who waits
Since her mind left school
It never hesitates
She won't waste time on elementary talk

[Chorus]
'Cause she's a twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox

Got the world locked up
Inside a plastic box

She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox, oh
She's a twentieth century fox

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This song title is a pun on the famous 20th Century Fox movie studio and the modern-day woman described in the song. She is glamorous, yet artificial.

According to the Waiting for the Sun Doors archive, Jac Holzman said the track was originally intended to be the follow-up single behind “Break On Through (To the Other Side).” However, the popularity of “Light My Fire” forced them to go in a different direction.
