1
Times have changed,
2
And we've often rewound the clock,
3
Since the Puritans got a shock,
4
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
5
If today,
6
Any shock they should try to stem,
7
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
8
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
9
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
10
Was looked on as something shocking,
11
But now, God knows,
12
Anything goes.
13
Good authors too who once knew better words,
14
Now only use four letter words
15
Writing prose, Anything Goes.
16
The world has gone mad today
17
And good's bad today,
18
And black's white today,
19
And day's night today,
20
When most guys today
21
That women prize today
22
Are just silly gigolos
23
And though I'm not a great romancer
24
I know that I'm bound to answer
25
When you propose,
26
Anything goes
27
When grandmama whose age is eighty
28
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
29
Anything goes.
30
When mothers pack and leave poor father
31
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,
32
Anything goes.
33
If driving fast cars you like,
34
If low bars you like,
35
If old hymns you like,
36
If bare limbs you like,
37
If Mae West you like
38
Or me undressed you like,
39
Why, nobody will oppose!
40
When every night,
41
The set that's smart
42
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios,
43
Anything goes.
44
The world has gone mad today
45
And good's bad today,
46
And black's white today,
47
And day's night today,
48
When most guys today
49
That women prize today
50
Are just silly gigolos
51
And though I'm not a great romancer
52
I know that I'm bound to answer
53
When you propose,
54
Anything goes
55
If saying your prayers you like,
56
If green pears you like
57
If old chairs you like,
58
If back stairs you like,
59
If love affairs you like
60
With young bears you like,
61
Why nobody will oppose!
62
And though I'm not a great romancer
63
And though I'm not a great romancer
64
I know that I'm bound to answer
65
When you propose,
66
Anything goes
67
Anything goes!
