Anything Goes

Times have changed

And we've often rewound the clock

Since the Puritans got a shock

When they landed on Plymouth Rock

But today

Any shock they would try to stem

'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock

Plymouth Rock would land on them

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking

Was looked on as something shocking

But now, God knows

Anything goes

Good authors, too, who once knew better words

Now only use four-letter words

Writing prose

Anything goes

The world has gone mad today and good's bad today

And black's white today and day's night today

And most guys today that women prize today

Silly gigolos

So though I'm not a great romancer

I know that you're bound to answer

When I propose

Anything goes

When grandmama, whose age is eighty

And night clubs are getting matey

With gigolos

Anything goes

When mothers pack and leave poor father

Because they've decided they'd rather

Be tennis pros

Anything goes

If driving fast cars you like, your low bars you like

If bare limbs you like, if Mae West you like

Or me undressed you like to molest tonight

Nobody will oppose

When every night the set that's smart is

Indulging in nudist parties

In studios

Anything goes

Just think of what shots you've got and what knots you've got

And what booze you've got with that news you've got

And what names you've got if any brains you've got

From those little radios

They think he's gangster number one

So they've made him the favorite sub

And that goes to show (That goes to show)

Anything goes

Anything, anything, anything

Goes
