[00:12] Times have changed
[00:16] And we've often rewound the clock
[00:19] Since the Puritans got a shock
[00:22] When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
[00:25] If today
[00:29] Any shock they should try to stem
[00:31] 'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
[00:34] Plymouth Rock would land on them.
[00:38] In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
[00:42] Was looked on as something shocking.
[00:44] But now, God knows,
[00:47] Anything goes.
[00:50] Good authors too who once knew better words
[00:54] Now only use four-letter words
[00:57] Writing prose.
[01:00] Anything goes.
[01:03] If driving fast cars you like,
[01:05] If low bars you like,
[01:06] If old hymns you like,
[01:08] If bare limbs you like,
[01:10] If Mae West you like,
[01:11] Or me undressed you like,
[01:13] Why, nobody will oppose.
[01:16] When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
[01:20] Truding in nudist parties in
[01:22] Studios.
[01:25] Anything goes.
[01:29] When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
[01:32] Can get Russian reds to \"yes\" her,
[01:35] Then I suppose
[01:38] Anything goes.
[01:41] When Rockefeller still can hoard en-
[01:45] Ough money to let Max Gordon
[01:47] Produce his shows,
[01:50] Anything goes.
[01:53] The world has gone mad today
[01:56] And good's bad today,
[01:57] And black's white today,
[01:59] And day's night today,
[02:01] And that gent today
[02:02] You gave a cent today
[02:03] Once had several chateaux.
[02:07] When folks who still can ride in jitneys
[02:10] Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
[02:12] Lack baby clo'es,
[02:15] Anything goes.
[02:19] If Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
[02:23] Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
[02:25] Then Anna shows
[02:28] Anything goes.
[02:31] When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
[02:35] Now turns a handspring landing up-
[02:38] On her toes,
[02:41] Anything goes.
[02:44] Just think of those shocks you've got
[02:45] And those knocks you've got
[02:47] And those blues you've got
[02:49] From that news you've got
[02:50] And those pains you've got
[02:52] (If any brains you've got) （
[02:54] From those little radios.
[02:56] So Missus R., with all her trimmin's,
[03:00] Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
[03:03] 'Cause Franklin knows
[03:06] Anything goes.
