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, When most guys today That women prize today Are just silly gigolos And though I'm not a great romancer I know that your bound to answer When I propose, Anything Goes
When mothers pack and leave poor father Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros, Anything Goes.
When grandmama whose age is eighty In night clubs is getting matey with gigolos, 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! And every night, The set that's smart Is indulging in nudist parties in studios, Anything Goes.
So though I'm not a great romancer I know that you're bound to answer When I propose, Anything Goes Anything Goes Anything Goes Anything Goes
