Anything Goes

Times have changed

And we've often rewound the clock

Since the Puritans got a shock

When they landed on Plymouth Rock

If today, any shock they should try to stand

'Stead-a landing on Plymouth Rock

Plymouth Rock would land on them



In olden days a glimpse of stockings

Was looked on as something shocking

Now heaven 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 goods bad today

And blacks white today

And days night today

When most guys today

That women prize today

Are just silly gigolos



So though I'm not a great romance

I know that I'm bound to answer

When you propose

Anything goes



The world has gone mad today

And good's bad today

And black's white today

And day's night today

When most guys today

That women prize today

Are just silly gigolos



So though I'm not a great romance

I know that I'm bound to answer

When you propose

Anything goes

Anything goes
