Anything Goes / Anything You Can Do
Lyrics
Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today, any shock they should try to stem
'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 now God knows, Anything Goes
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, Anything Goes
Anything you can be, I can be greater
Sooner or later, I'm greater than you
(No, you're not) yes, I am (No, you're not)
Yes, I am (No, you're not) yes, I am (No)
Yes, I am! (No)
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today and black's white today
And day's night today when most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos any note you can hold
I can hold longer
(I can hold any note longer than you)
No, you can't (Yes, I can)
No, you can't (Yes, I can)
No, you can't (Yes, I can)
Yes, I
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows anything Goes
Yes! (No) i (You)
Can! (Can't)
Anything goes!
