[Bbm7]Times have [F7]changed
[Bbm7]And we've often rewound the clock
[B7]Since the Puritans got a shock
[Cm7b5]When they landed on Plymouth [F7]Rock.
[Bb7]If today, any shock they should [Ebm]try to stem
[Cm7b5]'Stead of landing on [Bbm]Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth [C7]Rock would land on [F7]them.
[Bb]In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
[Bb]Was looked on as something [Gm]shocking.
But [Bb]now, God [Eb]knows,
Anything [Bb]goes.
[Bb]Good authors too who once knew better words
[Bb]Now only use four-[Gm]letter words
[Bb]writing [Eb]prose.
Anything [Bb]goes.[A7]
If driving fast [D]cars you like, if low [Em6]bars you like,
If old [Dm7]hymns you like, if bare [Em6]limbs you like,
If Mae [Dm7]West you like, or me un[Dm7]dressed you like,
Why, [Dm7]nobody will o[F7]ppose.
When [Bb]ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
[Bb]truding in nudist [Gm]parties
in [Bb]studi[Eb]os.
Anything [Bb]goes.
When [Bb]Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
Can [Bb]get Russian reds to [Gm]"yes" her,
Then [Bb]I supp[Eb]ose
Anything [Bb]goes.
When [Bb]Rockefeller still can hoard en-
Ough [Bb]money to let Max [Gm]Gordon
Pro[Bb]duce his [Eb]shows,
Anything [Bb]goes.[A7]
The world has gone [D]mad today, and good's [Em6]bad today,
And black's [Dm7]white today, and day's [Em6]night today,
And that [Dm7]gent today, you gave a [Dm7]cent today
Once had [Dm7]several chat[F7]eaux.
When [Bb]folks who still can ride in Jitneys
Find [Bb]out Vanderbilts and [Gm]Whitneys
Lack [Bb]baby [Eb]clo'es,
Anything [Bb]goes.
When Sam [Bb]Goldwyn can with great conviction
Ins[Bb]truct Anna Sten in [Gm]diction,
Then [Bb]Anna [Eb]shows
Anything [Bb]goes.
When you [Bb]hear that Lady Mendl standing up
[Bb]Now does a handspring [Gm]landing up-
[Bb]On her [Eb]toes,
Anything [Bb]goes.[A7]
Just think of those [D]shocks you've got, and those [Em6]knocks you've got
And those [Dm7]blues you've got, from those [Em6]news you've got
And those [Dm7]pains you've got, (If any [Dm7]brains you've got)
From those [Dm7]little radi[F7]os.
So [Bb]Missus R, with all her trimmin's,
Can [Bb]broadcast a bed from [Gm]Simmons
'Cause [Bb]Franklin [Eb]knows
Anything [Bb]goes.[F7add#5] [Bb]
