Anything Goes (From "Anything Goes") |
| N olden days a glimpse of stocking |
| Was looked on as something shocking |
| But now God knows |
| Anything goes |
| Good authors to |
| 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 every night |
| The set that’s smart |
| Is intruding on nudist parties |
| In studios |
| Anything goes |
| When Mrs. Ned McClean God bless her |
| Can get Russian reds to yes her |
| Than I suppose |
| Anything goes |
| When Rockefeller still can hoard |
| Enough 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 days night today |
| And that gent today |
| You gave a cent today |
| Once owned several chateaus |
| When folks |
| Who still can ride in Jitney’s |
| Find out Vanderbilts and Whitney’s |
| Lack baby clo’es |
| Anything goes |
| When Sam Goldwyn |
| Can with great conviction |
| Instruct Anna Sten in diction |
| Than Anna shows |
| Anything goes |
| When you hear that |
| Lady Mendl standing up |
| Now turns 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 Mrs. R |
| With all her trimmin’s |
| Can broadcast a bed from Simmon’s |
| Cause Franklin knows |
| Anything goes |
