In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
Now 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 goods bad today, 
And blacks white today,
And days night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos.

So though Im not a great romancer,
I know that youre bound to answer
When I propose
Anything goes.

May I say before this record spins to a close,
I want you to know
Anything goes.
