Anything Goes (2/8/56) |
Times have changed |
And we’ve often rewound the clock |
Since the Puritans got the shock |
When they landed on Plymouth Rock |
If 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 |
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 |
When ev’ry night the set that’s smart is |
Intruding at nudist parties |
In studios |
Anything goes |
When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her) |
Can get Russian reds to «yes» her |
Then I suppose |
Anything goes |
When Rockefeller still can hoard en- |
-ough money to let Max Gordon |
Produce his shows |
Anything goes |
The world has gone mad today |
And good’s bad today |
And black’s white today |
And day’s night today |
And that gent today |
You gave a cent today |
Once had several chateaus |
When folks who still can ride in jitneys |
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys |
Lack baby clothes |
Anything goes |
When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction |
Instruct Anna Sten in diction |
Then 'Nana' shows |
Anything goes |
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up |
Now does a handspring landing up- |
On her toes |
Anything goes |
Just think of those shocks you’ve got |
And those knocks you’ve got |
And those blues you’ve got |
From those news you’ve got |
And those pains you’ve got |
(If any brains you’ve got) |
From those little radios |
So Missus R., with all her trimmings |
Can broadcast abed from Simmons |
Cause Franklin knows |
Anything goes |
