Fitzgerald Ella Anything Goes Lyrics

Anything Goes Lyrics

Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans
got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
But today, any shock they
should try to stand,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock
would land on them.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on
as something shocking
but heaven 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
and
most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos

and
though I'm
not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to
answer
When I propose, anything goes
