| Times have changed And we�ve often rewound the clock Since the Puritans got a shock When they landed on Plymonth Rock. If today any day shock they should try to stem, �stead of landing on Plymonth Rock, Plymonth 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 fourletter 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, When most guys today that women prize today Are just silly gigolos. So through I�m not a great romaner I know that I�m bound to answer When I propose, anything goes When mothers pack and leave poor father they decide they�d rather be tennis pros anything goes. When Missus Ned McLean, God bless her, Can get Russian Reds to �yes� her, Then I suppose anything goes. If driving fast cars you like, if low bars you like, If old hymns you like, or bare limbs you like, If Mae West you like, or me undressed you like why, Nobody would oppose, anything goes. When ev�ry night the set that�s smart Is indulging in nudist parties in studios, Anything goes. When youhear that Lady Mendl, Standing up, Now does a handspring landing up on her toes, Anything goes. When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction instruct Anna Sten in diction, Then Anna shows anything goes. Missu R., with all her trimmin�s, can broadcast a bed for Simmons �cause Franklin knows anything goes. |
