Anything Goes Lyrics & Tabs by Eileen Rodgers
Anything Goes
guitar chords lyrics
Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
But today
Any shock they should 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.
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,
and most guys today,
that women prize today,
are silly gigolos.
So though I'm not a great romancer,
I know that you're bound to answer,
when I propose,
Anything goes.
When Grandmama, who's age is eighty,
In night clubs' is getting matey with gigolos,
Anything goes.
When mothers' pack and leave poor father,
Because they've desided they'd rather be tennis pros,
Anything goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
To molest tonight,
Nobody will oppose.
When ev"ry night the set that"s smart is in-
Truding at nudist parties in
Studios.
Anything goes.
(Dance break)
Just think of what shots you've got,
and what knots you've got,
and what booze you've got,
with that news you've got,
and what names you've got,
if any brains you've got,
from those little radios.
They think he's gangster number one
So they've made him the favorite sub,
and that goes to show,
Anything goes,
Anything, anything, anything,
Goes.
