Caroline O'connor Anything Goes
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
Now, heaven knows,
Anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose.
Anything goes.
You say in your precious life
It bring pleasure you like
If only treasure you like
You backstab your life
If I'm a pleasure you like
One young pleasure you like
Why nobody will oppose
So though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose, anything goes
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose.
And ev'ry night the set that's smart is intruding in
nudist parties in studios.
Anything goes.
Anything goes
Anything goes
