[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.
