Take me away from this horrible party
|
And let me get home to Mother
|
Don't make me stay at this horrible party
|
And I'll never go to another
|
|
People are shedding their inhibitions and their clothes
|
Many are sprawled on divans painting each other's toes
|
Everyone seems to be stuffing something up his nose
|
A player piano is tinkling "Anything Goes" again and again
|
|
Deliver me from this horrible party
|
And I will give you some money
|
Why, why are we at this horrible party?
|
And I don't see what's so funny
|
|
Here in the darkness known hitherto only to moles
|
People are using the slang they picked up from the proles
|
Everyone's finding new uses for muffs and mink stoles
|
And "Anything Goes" goes again, how they know all the roles
|
|
Some plastic surgeon's done horrible things to poor Jane
|
Making her terrifically popular, men are insane
|
"Anything goes" is the motto and endless refrain
|
My dear, it was heaven until they ran out of champagne
|
