[Verse 1]
I was standing on the bandstand acting like a big man singing my fans a song
Picking it real loud for a big crowd but feeling all alone
When I saw her walking in the door looking like nothing I'd seen before
And I said to my guitar picker I'm taking her home

[Chorus]
She was a real live 20th century fox
And I've always been the kind of a man that jumps, when opportunity knocks
Long black hair and tight blue jeans, tied my heart in a knot
She looked just like a movie star this 20th century fox

[Verse 2]
I flew across the dance floor pointed at the stage door, I said "pardon me hun"
But you would join me for a spot of tea after the next show's done She flashed me the biggest smile I had seen in a long long while And she said "jolly well that might be fun"

[Chorus]
Oh she was a real live 20th century fox
And I've always been the kind of a man that jumps, when opportunity knocks
Long black hair and tight blue jeans, tied my heart in a knot
She looked just like a movie star this 20th century fox
Oh she was a real live 20th century fox
And I've always been the kind of a man that jumps, when opportunity knocks
Long black hair and tight blue jeans, tied my heart in a knot
She looked just like a movie star this 20th century fox
Yeah she looked just like a movie star, oh her charm was universal
Her beauty was paramount and she was a fox
