In olden days a glimpse of stocking was
Looked on as something shocking now
Heaven knows
Anything goes
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes
The world's gone mad today
Good's bad today
Black's white today
And day's night today
And all the guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
Anything goes
Anything goes
When every night the set that's smart is
Intruding in nudist parties in studios
Oh, anything goes
So though I'm not a great romancer, I
Know you're bound to answer when
I propose
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
Anything goes
And all the pains you've got
If any brains you've got
From those little radios
Anything goes
Anything goes
Anything
