[00:02] Times have changed
[00:06] And we've often rewound the clock
[00:09] Since the Puritans got a shock
[00:12] When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
[00:16] If today
[00:19] Any shock they should try to stem
[00:22] 'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
[00:26] Plymouth Rock would land on them.
[00:29] In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
[00:32] Was looked on as something shocking.
[00:34] But now, God knows, Anything goes.
[00:41] Good authors too who once knew better words
[00:44] Now only use four-letter words
[00:47] Writing prose.
[00:50] Anything goes.
[00:52] If driving fast cars you like,
[00:55] If low bars you like,
[00:56] If old hymns you like,
[00:58] If bare limbs you like,
[00:59] If Mae West you like,
[01:01] Or me undressed you like,
[01:02] Why, nobody will oppose.
[01:05] When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
[01:09] Truding in nudist parties in
[01:11] Studios.
[01:14] Anything goes.
[01:18]
[02:40] When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
[02:42] Can get Russian reds to "yes" her,
[02:45] Then I suppose
[02:47] Anything goes.
[02:50] When Rockefeller still can hoard enough money to let Max Gordon
[02:54] Produce his shows,
[02:56] Anything goes.
[03:01] The world has gone mad today
[03:03] And good's bad today,
[03:04] And black's white today,
[03:06] And day's night today,
[03:07] And that gent today
[03:08] You gave a cent today
[03:10] Once had several chateaux.
[03:12] When folks who still can ride in jitneys
[03:15] Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
[03:17] Lack baby clo'es,
[03:20] Anything goes.
[03:22]
[04:25] If Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
[04:28] Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
[04:30] Then Anna shows
[04:33] Anything goes.
[04:36] When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
[04:39] Now turns a handspring landing up-
[04:41] On her toes,
[04:43] Anything goes.
[04:46] Just think of those shocks you've got
[04:48] And those knocks you've got
[04:49] And those blues you've got
[04:50] From that news you've got
[04:52] And those pains you've got(If any brains you've got)
[04:54] From those little radios.
[04:57] So Missus R., with all her trimmin's,
[05:00] Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
[05:02] 'Cause Franklin knows
[05:05] Anything goes.
