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 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
|
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 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 romancer
|
I know that you're bound to answer
|
When I propose, anything goes
|
|
