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 should 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 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
|
And though I'm not a great romancer
|
I know that I'm bound to answer
|
When you propose
|
Anything goes
|
|
When grandmamma whose age is eighty
|
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolos
|
Anything goes
|
|
If driving fast cars you like
|
If low bars you like
|
If old hymns you like
|
If bare limbs you like
|
If Mae West you like
|
Or me undressed you like
|
Well, nobody will oppose!
|
When every night
|
The set that's smart
|
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios
|
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
|
Well, nobody will oppose!
|
|
And though I'm not a great romancer
|
I know that I'm bound to answer
|
When you propose
|
Anything goes [x4]
