Anything Goes

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.

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
Who women prize today
Are just silly gigolos.

Anything goes
Anything goes.

With every night, the set that's smart is
Intruding on nudist parties
In studios
Anything goes
So though I'm not a great romancer
I know you're gonna answer
When I propose
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
Anything goes
And those pains you've got
(If any brains you've got)
From those little radios
Anything goes
Anything goes
Anything.
