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.
16
Anything goes.
17
If driving fast cars you like,
18
If low bars you like,
19
If old hymns you like,
20
If bare limbs you like,
21
If Mae West you like,
22
Or me undressed you like,
23
Why, nobody will oppose.
24
When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
25
Truding in nudist parties in
26
Studios.
27
Anything goes.
28
When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
29
Can get Russian reds to "yes" her,
30
Then I suppose
31
Anything goes.
32
When Rockefeller still can hoard en-
33
Ough money to let Max Gordon
34
Produce his shows,
35
Anything goes.
36
The world has gone mad today
37
And good's bad today,
38
And black's white today,
39
And day's night today,
40
And that gent today
41
You gave a cent today
42
Once had several chateaux.
43
When folks who still can ride in jitneys
44
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
45
Lack baby clo'es,
46
Anything goes.
47
If Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
48
Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
49
Then Anna shows
50
Anything goes.
51
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
52
Now turns a handspring landing up-
53
On her toes,
54
Anything goes.
55
Just think of those shocks you've got
56
And those knocks you've got
57
And those blues you've got
58
From that news you've got
59
And those pains you've got
60
(If any brains you've got)
61
From those little radios.
62
So Missus R., with all her trimmin's,
63
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
64
'Cause Franklin knows
65
Anything goes.
