Times have changed |
| [00:06] |
And we've often rewound the clock |
| [00:09] |
Since the Puritans got a shock |
| [00:12] |
When they landed on Plymouth Rock. |
| [00:16] |
If today |
| [00:19] |
Any shock they should try to stem |
| [00:22] |
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, |
| [00:26] |
Plymouth Rock would land on them. |
| [00:29] |
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking |
| [00:32] |
Was looked on as something shocking. |
| [00:34] |
But now, God knows, Anything goes. |
| [00:41] |
Good authors too who once knew better words |
| [00:44] |
Now only use four-letter words |
| [00:47] |
Writing prose. |
| [00:50] |
Anything goes. |
| [00:52] |
If driving fast cars you like, |
| [00:55] |
If low bars you like, |
| [00:56] |
If old hymns you like, |
| [00:58] |
If bare limbs you like, |
| [00:59] |
If Mae West you like, |
| [01:01] |
Or me undressed you like, |
| [01:02] |
Why, nobody will oppose. |
| [01:05] |
When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in- |
| [01:09] |
Truding in nudist parties in |
| [01:11] |
Studios. |
| [01:14] |
Anything goes. |
| [01:18] |
|
| [02:40] |
When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her) |
| [02:42] |
Can get Russian reds to "yes" her, |
| [02:45] |
Then I suppose |
| [02:47] |
Anything goes. |
| [02:50] |
When Rockefeller still can hoard enough money to let Max Gordon |
| [02:54] |
Produce his shows, |
| [02:56] |
Anything goes. |
| [03:01] |
The world has gone mad today |
| [03:03] |
And good's bad today, |
| [03:04] |
And black's white today, |
| [03:06] |
And day's night today, |
| [03:07] |
And that gent today |
| [03:08] |
You gave a cent today |
| [03:10] |
Once had several chateaux. |
| [03:12] |
When folks who still can ride in jitneys |
| [03:15] |
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys |
| [03:17] |
Lack baby clo'es, |
| [03:20] |
Anything goes. |
| [03:22] |
|
| [04:25] |
If Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction |
| [04:28] |
Instruct Anna Sten in diction, |
| [04:30] |
Then Anna shows |
| [04:33] |
Anything goes. |
| [04:36] |
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up |
| [04:39] |
Now turns a handspring landing up- |
| [04:41] |
On her toes, |
| [04:43] |
Anything goes. |
| [04:46] |
Just think of those shocks you've got |
| [04:48] |
And those knocks you've got |
| [04:49] |
And those blues you've got |
| [04:50] |
From that news you've got |
| [04:52] |
And those pains you've got(If any brains you've got) |
| [04:54] |
From those little radios. |
| [04:57] |
So Missus R., with all her trimmin's, |
| [05:00] |
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons |
| [05:02] |
'Cause Franklin knows |
| [05:05] |
Anything goes. |
