Anything Goes

歌詞

Times have changed And we've often rewound the clock Since the Puritans got the shock When they landed on Plymouth Rock If today any shock they might 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 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 Why nobody will oppose When every night The set that's smart Is intruding on nudist parties In studios Anything Goes When Missus Ned McLean, God bless her Can get Russian Reds to yes her Then I suppose Anything Goes When Rockafeller still can hoard Enough money to let Max Gordon Produce his shows Anything Goes The world has gone mad today And good's bad today And black's white today And day's night today And that gent today You gave a cent today Once had several Chateaus When folks Who still can ride in Jitneys Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys Lack baby clothes Anything Goes When Sam Goldwyn Can with great conviction Instruct Anna Sten in diction Than Anna shows Anything Goes When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up Now does a handspring landing up On her toes Anything Goes Just think of those shocks you've got And those knocks you've got And those blues you've got From those news you've got And those pains you've got (If any brains you've got) From those little radios So Mrs. R With all her trimmin's Can broadcast a bed from Simmon's Cause Franklin knows Anything Goes
