Times have changed
And weve often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today
Any snock they should try to stem
Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth 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 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 lm not a great romancer
I know that lm bound to answer
When you propose
Anything goes
When grandmamas whose age is eighty
In night clubs are getting matey with gigolos
Anything goes
When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide theyd rather be tennis pros
Anything goes
If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If ole hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
Id Mae west you like
Or me undressed you like
Why nobody will oppose
When every night the set thats smart is
Intruding in nudist parties in studios
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 lm not a great romancer
I know that lm bound to answer
When you propose
Anything goes
If saying your prayers you like
If green pears you like
If old chairs you like
If back stairs you like
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like
Why nobody will oppose
So though lm not a great romancer
I know that lm bound to answer
When you propose
Anything goes
Anything goes
