Anything Goes

In olden days a glimpse of stocking

Was looked on as something shocking

But now God knows

Anything goes



Good authors to

Who once knew better words

Now only use four letter words

Writing prose

Anything goes



If driving fast cars you like

If low bars you like

If old hymns you like

If bare limbs you like

If Mae West you like

Or me undressed you like

Why nobody will oppose



When every night

The set that's smart

Is intruding on nudist parties

In studios

Anything goes



When Mrs. Ned McClean God bless her

Can get Russian reds to yes her

Than I suppose

Anything goes



When Rockafeller still can hoard

Enough money to let Max Gordon

Produce his shows

Anything goes



The world has gone mad today

And good's bad today

And black's white today

And days night today

And that gent today

You gave a cent today

Once owned several chateaux



When folks

Who still can ride in Jitney's

Find out Vanderbilts and Whitney's

Lack baby clo'es

Anything goes
