[Chorus]
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows
Anything goes

[Verse 1]
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writin' prose
Anything goes

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
So though I'm not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
When I propose
Anything goes

[Chorus]
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows
Anything goes
[Verse 3]
And good authors too, who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writin' prose
Cause anything goes

[Verse 4]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
So though I'm not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
When I propose
Anything goes

[Outro]
May I say before this record spins to a close
I want you to know
Anything goes
