Lyrics Anything Goes - Harry Connick Jr

Anything Goes

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 I’m bound to answer when
You propose
Anything goes
Well, when grand-mama
Whose age is eighty
In nightclubs is getting matey
With gigolos
Anything goes
When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because thy decide they’d rathr be
Tennis pros
Anything goes
Just think of those shocks you’ve got
And those knocks you’ve got
From those boos you’ve got
From those moves you’ve got
And those pains you’ve got
If any brains you got
From those little radios
When every night
The set that’s smart
Is intruding in nudist parties
In studios
Anything goes
Well, 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
And though I’m not a great romancer
I know that I’m bound to answer when
You propose
Oh, anything goes
I mean anything, man, anything goes
