He’s old school, just a fool, now
It ain’t cool, he’s old school
A rooster one day, a feather duster the next
I don’t need your cell number or your email address
I don’t twitter or text, I don’t care what’s coming next, I’m cool
You say it’s progress, but I’m not so impressed
If I wanted to chat, I would get a houseguest
The less I know, the more I’m blessed, it’s cool
The friends I have don’t request
It’s more like we’re repossessed
Don’t keep me abreast of your endless talkfest, I’m cool
The hotties on the worldwide web
They’re as useful as a spider’s cobweb
I can tell you’re still talking, but I forgot what you said, yeah, we’re cool
He’s old school, just a fool, now
It ain’t cool, he’s old school
The things you possess, about which you obsess
If it was me, I confess, I’d much rather divest
To hang out with me you’ll need a bit more finesse, but we’re cool
The Internet, they say it’s like the wild, wild west
If you’re gonna write a blog, you’ll need a bullet-proof vest
As a hundred thousand geeks fly over the Cuckoo’s Nest, that’s not cool
You can call me a square, I’m still in love with Jane Eyre
I don’t Google, I don’t Digg, I don’t use FourSquare, but I get there
I don’t laugh at LOLZ, I don’t watch reality TV
I’m your walking, talking Error 404, that’s me
He’s old school, just a fool, now
It ain’t cool. He’s old school.
The only software I know is Tupperware
And I don’t really care who wants to be a millionaire
Even if my next road trip is to Intensive Care, I’m cool
Maybe inside my head there’s nothing but thin air
Maybe the only place I’m headed is the wheel chair
But in my mind I still move like Fred Astaire, that’s cool
I like good bread with my wine, with nothing else on my mind
I like a book in my hand and the time that it takes to unwind
If it’s amateur hour, I’d rather sing in the shower
Mr. Cowell can scowl as he throws in the towel, I don’t care
Mr. Cowell can howl as he throws in the towel, I don’t care
Mr. Cowel can scowl, I don’t care.
He’s old school, just a fool, now
It ain’t cool. He’s old school
