She Thinks I'm Old

The document is a musical score for the song 'She Thinks I'm Old'. It contains the lyrics and musical notation for the piano and small orchestra. The character Jervis responds to being described as a tall, old man who hates girls by saying he has some style and is better than many letters someone has read. It then shows the musical notation for the piano and other instruments to accompany the lyrics describing how the girl thinks he is old, cold and crusty.
