Bbm7       F7Times have changed
Bbm7And we've often rewound the clock
B7Since the Puritans got a shock
Cm7b5                        F7When they landed on Plymouth Rock.

Bb7                             EbmIf today, any shock they should try to stem
Cm7b5                Bbm'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
         C7                 F7Plymouth Rock would land on them.

BbIn olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Bb                         GmWas looked on as something shocking.
    Bb       EbBut now, God knows,
         BbAnything goes.

BbGood authors too who once knew better words
Bb                GmNow only use four-letter words
Bb      Ebwriting prose.
         Bb   A7Anything goes.

                D                     Em6If driving fast cars you like, if low bars you like,
       Dm7                     Em6If old hymns you like, if bare limbs you like,
       Dm7                    Dm7If Mae West you like, or me undressed you like,
     Dm7          F7Why, nobody will oppose.

     BbWhen ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
Bb                Gmtruding in nudist parties
   Bb   Ebin studios.
         BbAnything goes.

     BbWhen Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
    Bb                  GmCan get Russian reds to "yes" her,
     Bb    EbThen I suppose
         BbAnything goes.

     BbWhen Rockefeller still can hoard en-
     Bb               GmOugh money to let Max Gordon
   Bb       EbProduce his shows,
         Bb   A7Anything goes.

                   D                     Em6The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today,
            Dm7                    Em6And black's white today, and day's night today,
         Dm7                    Dm7And that gent today, you gave a cent today
         Dm7         F7Once had several chateaux.

     BbWhen folks who still can ride in Jitneys
     Bb                  GmFind out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
     Bb   EbLack baby clo'es,
         BbAnything goes.

         BbWhen Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
   Bb                 GmInstruct Anna Sten in diction,
     Bb   EbThen Anna shows
         BbAnything goes.

         BbWhen you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Bb                    GmNow does a handspring landing up-
Bb     EbOn her toes,
         Bb   A7Anything goes.

                    D                            Em6Just think of those shocks you've got, and those knocks you've got
          Dm7                          Em6And those blues you've got, from those news you've got
          Dm7                       Dm7And those pains you've got, (If any brains you've got)
           Dm7        F7From those little radios.

   BbSo Missus R, with all her trimmin's,
    Bb                   GmCan broadcast a bed from Simmons
       Bb       Eb'Cause Franklin knows
         Bb   F7add#5 BbAnything goes.
